I got my pocket knife snatched here in Florida the other day. Went to get a tag and got asked the same question. I, of course said no, went through the metal detector and got busted. "I thought you said you didn't have a weapon." "Well officer, I didn't regard a small knife as a weapon." In all fairness he did give it back when I left with the warning to be more careful in the future.
