I was asked the following question via PM and while I have an opinion about the answer I think it would be better if other people chimed in as well
The 2008 code book in my opinion is unclear where they require tamper resistant plugs. They list areas for tamper resistant plugs 210.52 - kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, parlor, library, den, sunroom, bedroom, recreation room, or similar room or areas of dwelling units.
I took a CEU that listed the attic and garage as areas that need tamper resistant plugs. Those areas are not similar in my opinion to the areas listed in 210.52. Do you have a definative answer?
This is a major change to the 2005 code. It did not discuss this change in the 2008 Master calculations dvd library I bought from Mike Holt. They did discuss the afci breaker code change
