Harold:
Don't go there with 680.26....it took a long, long time to get the 3' issues straight!
Greg:
Thank you, I thought you may have found one (AFCI device)

At this time it appears that Indiana will adopt the 2008 Code WITHOUT AFCI and tamper resistant receptacles.

If it was easy, anyone could do it.

They are required, as are "WR" ones for certain locations. I believe the box stores already carry them.

I just saw an ad this weekend for one of the big box stores selling TR-GFI receptacles.

The big orange box has TR-GFCIs for about $3 more than the non-TRs.($15.49 vs $12.59).
The samples of the TRs all had the "TR" features broken, 1 shutter was open. As to how many of the TRs will break in the field .. only time will tell.
California is still on the 2007 CEC, derived from the 2005 NEC and I pray they get the bugs worked out of the TRs before we adopt the 2008 NEC.

As with most technology these days, it will be perfected after it is deployed.
I still haven't been able to find out how many of the square D defective AFCIs actually got replaced in the recall.

I did an inspection the other day and I was testing receptacles. I pulled out one of those little air freshener in order to check the receptacle. I had a heck of a time trying to get that bugger back into the receptacle. I found out it was a TR receptacle and the homeowner said, "Don't worry. I will put it back in. It is tricky and I will get it after awhile."
I was thinking that these TR's are going to be a pain to use and maintain.

Plus if you install a GFI receptacle outside, it has to be Tamper AND Weather resistant GFI receptacle. OK, now a show of hands, has anybody found these yet? How much are they?

Yes Harold they do exist. I have samples from P&S that were supplied when I did a Code update ('08) seminar with the association.
Every config of device is available in TR, and WR, including GFI's. The GFI was in the big box ad for >$18.00 a few weeks back. A TR/WR duplex is in the $2 range.
