Residential tamper-resistant receptacles

[JDBrown]

Pretty much all I do is commercial, so I'm not really up on all the residential requirements, and I want to make sure I've got this straight. NEC 406.11 says:

406.11 Tamper-Resistant Receptacles in Dwelling Units
In all areas specified in 210.52, all 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles shall be listed tamper-resistant receptacles.

I went to 210.52, and it seemed to list all 125-volt, 15- and 20-amp receptacles in a residential building. So, are ALL 125-volt, 15- and 20-amp receptacles required to be tamper-resistant when dealing with residential, or are there exceptions that I'm missing?

It is pretty much easier to just use all TRs than trying to stock two kinds and make them end up in the right spots.

Don't forget weather resistant ones for wet locations.

That explains why I didn't see the Exception -- I'm still on the 2008 code (until January 1st). Thanks for the replies.
