If we are talking multitools, a Leatherman would do nicely and it has blade lock (beside a S30V blade, possibly depending on models).
Depending on the country (and possibly in the US depending on states) a folding knife that can be opened with a flick of the hand/wrist may be considered illegal (switchblade or more accurately "gravity knife").
In some places there are also contrasting theories on the legality of the "lock open", i.e. a Victorinox multitool or an old Leatherman without lock would "pass" but a (say) Leatherman Charge/Wave/Surge would be border line[1] or just over the border[2].
