Nuclear Plant Gamer Leads to Possible Ban

A security guard at a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania was caught playing a handheld video game by the Department of Environmental Protection during an unannounced check last Friday. Even though no violation occurred and employees are allowed to engage in mind-simulating activities like reading or using the computer, the department now wants to ban video games. According to DEP's Kathleen A. McGinty:

The issue is not the guard's use of the video game, because current procedures don't specifically prohibit those games. The real issue is that his complete absorption in the game distracted him from noticing the repeated approach of our inspector. And that shows why this procedure needs to be changed and these video games disallowed.

So... Think it was a DS or a PSP?
