As captains of mock trial teams at Carnegie Mellon University, Anand Shankar Durvasula and Sudeep Paul learned the inner workings of the courts.
They'll soon put that knowledge to use firsthand after being arrested on charges of trying to sneak into Heinz Field early Sunday and triggering a warning to NFL officials.
SNIP
Police found a video camera and tripod inside a silver Lexus sports utility vehicle with New York plates and registered to Kumar Paul, 51, of Woodbury, N.Y. It was parked at Art Rooney Avenue at North Shore Drive.
Two bomb dogs were used to check the SUV because of unidentified suspicious items found inside, and they indicated a positive hit for explosives, court documents said. A bomb technician was called in and declared the vehicle was safe, the affidavit said.

I know you're being facetious, Bert. CMU costs about $35K per year. One of our favorite posters, murrymom, went to that institution.
So they were caught at 2AM? Nothing fishy about that. LOL!!!
It's the two "hits" from two bomb sniffing dogs from the Lexux SUV that turned this into something. Better safe than sorry.
"Sudeep Paul's homepage is totally inoccuous (unless you consider CNN.com being a favorite link being some sort of smoking gun.)"
Give me some time, I'm still thinking.
"Anand Shankar Durvasula, a junior in economics and social and decision sciences"
What is a course in social and decision sciences?
These guys firstly told police that they had tickets to the game. Then they said they were making a movie (trying to jump the fence).
I know the Steeler people/owners. If these excellent" students wanted to shoot a little video at Heinz Field, they would have been allowed if they had asked.
I think was going to be terrorism.
Plain and simple.
Nobody is this stoooopid!
Dog were probably alerting on the half eaten Big Mac under the passinger seat.
No, I haven't.
Now why would two good Hindu boys have a half eaten Big Mac under the Lexus's driver seat.
*ducking and running for cover*
LOL!!!
*&^^%$^&%$$^** etiquette police!!!
LOL...just kidding...point taken.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "They later said they were filming a music video and wanted to shoot the last scene on the field."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police then searched the silver Lexus SUV the students were driving. They found a video camera and tripod before towing the car.
According to KDKA-TV news, a police affidavit later noted two different dogs responded positively for hits of explosives inside the SUV.
Harper said there was no evidence the pair had been drinking, and police found no signs of alcohol in the car. Police also searched both students on-campus residences in Morewood Gardens and Doherty Apartments."
I updated the thread and requested it to be moved out of chat.
"A British Muslim plotted to cause "massive explosions" in Britain and the United States designed to kill thousands of people, a court heard today.
Dhiren Barot, a 34-year-old convert from north London, led a conspiracy to commit mass murder and was intent on causing, in his own words, "another black day for the enemies of Islam".
