The man was soon interrupted by airport officials who asked him to unplug his console from the monitor. The man asked the airport officials to let him finish the game but was denied permission. Kama Simonds, airport spokesperson, while talking to the media said that they allow travellers to use power outlets without any disruption but they just can't allow them to plug into anything. The officials at the airport didn't confiscate anything, neither did they register any complaint or initiate an arrest.

Got the cheek...someone should smash his console up and remind him of where can shove it.

A good alternative could be game centers (with good paid internet) to accomodate this crowd. Did he played well?

I'm guessing you are the reason security ended this. Bro if you are the one that reported it to Security that's not cool. 4 in the morning he isn't hurting anyone and there's 100's of other monitors.
