PSP Nearly Causes the Apocalypse
07/18/2009 Written by Dan Massi
Yes, you indeed read the title right. The tiny handheld from Sony, the PSP, almost caused the world to end.
Well, maybe we’re being a bit too dramatic.
Three guards were suspended three weeks ago, without pay, for bringing videogame devices into the high-security Department of Energy’s Y-12 nuclear weapons plant. One of those videogame devices happened to be the PSP (with transmitting capability), with which was brought into a “protected area” of the plant. This protected area happened to be where they create, dismantle, and recycle nuclear warheads.
A new rule has now been created that all personal bags are to be checked before entering the area. For us, this seems like a good idea.

Oh I forgot everyone is a terrorist.
this is probably just as much a way to make sure workers aren’t being lazy as it is a security issue…although I’m all for making sure our nuclear facilities are being completely secured
maybe they just wanted to ad-hoc..
e’erbody’s gotta have a lil’ ad-hoc….
In the nuclear reactors they pay people 6000 dollars to scrape the gunk. They then get unemployment of around 1200 for a few months, and then get called back 1-3 times a year. If they do not wear the correct protective clothing and they fuck up anything, they could very likely end up with cancer in a matter of seconds…
People working around these materials don’t need things like PSPs, DSs, or the Wireless link adapters used for pokemon games…
Unless cell phones are approved. Then it’s not an important issue that needs to be nipped in the bud, but just some anal retentive jackhole.
