I had an inspection the other day and the EI mentioned I didn't need a TR receptacle for the micro outlet above the range. I didn't know that, probably most of you do. He said over 5 ' ( I think it is actually 5 1/2) you don't need it. So I was thinking if the idea is a little kid will stick a paper clip in the outlet wouldn't a child big enough to reach counter outlets, bath outlets, etc. know enough not to do that? (I realize they could stand on a chair if they were bound and determined). Also when ever I am in someones house that has the protectors stuck in the outlets it is always the wall outlets, not the higher up ones. Just my opinion, maybe I am missing the point.
