If you are following the 2008 NEC, the requirement is for all areas of 210.52 in regards to 15 & 20 amp 125V receptacle location.

We are still on the 2002. I did a search for tamper resistant receps and the picture of them looks like a normal one. I was thinking they would look like a child proof type.
Anyone have a link of these devices? And what makes them tamper resistant?

They have some sort of shutters to keep things out.

Just a little fun with the inspector

You are required TR's in all the locations specified in 210.52. Put a "regular" receptacle for servicing the Air Handler in the attic and see if you can't get a discussion going with your inspector. I bet that you will.

If you are on the 2002 NEC code cycle then tamper resistant receptacles are NOT required.
As for the OP's question, pretty much all receptacles in a residence must be the TR type.

Pretty much all is close but not the correct answer.
