This is a wicked and malicious stunt. MIT students are supposed to be intelligent. This horrid young woman needs to spend a year or two in prison.

"She's lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue."If I was driving into the airport and she was standing outside the terminal, she would have tire marks on her blood-soaked "art".

Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport. "She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day," Pare said at a news conference. "She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it." She wanted to stand out? At the airport?

I remember when anyone was excepted to MIT it really said a lot about their intelligence. I guess that doesn’t hold true anymore....

I'm currently studying computers and how they work at MIT.
Pathetic, like what a high schooler would say when doing a project in Microsoft Word. Not what I expect coming from the US's top engineering school.

I have no way of knowing for sure, but a mixed-race female from Hawaii would certainly be a desirable candidate in the eyes of the MIT admissions board.
I wonder if she was “affirmative actioned” over her head?

Like putting blinking devices on traffic lights, polls, bathrooms, and subway stops to advertise a movie using illegal posting “guerilla tactics”?

"In this day and age, the threat continues to be there," said Pare. "She certainly jeopardized her own safety by bringing this to the airport, as well as the safety of everybody around her.
other than her getting shot, how was the safety of others around her jeopardized ? strays ? ricochets ?

Just got this from a friend of mine: If the student claims the fake bomb was art work, would the law enforcement personnel involved in her arrest be considered art “critics”?
LOL. Anyone been roaming the DU/Kos areas today? What are the BDS sufferers saying today?
Put me down for jail time for this frivolous little girl.
BTW, Does anyone have a link to an article that talks about the high MIT suicide rate referenced on the first page of posts?

She should have gotten a bullet to the head. That would prevent any other liberal loonies from attempting this same nonsense. You can’t do this stuff in the era of terrorism.

That’s a protoboard, for prototyping electronic circuits.
Crude but quick and easy to change the circuit.
Also easy to see why it caused alarm, especially when she’s carrying a lump of some putty-like stuff. It looks “improvised” and “expendable”. The flaming running man is another atention-getting factor.
The mooninite boards were professionally spun PWBs with a polished look otoh.
I think she meant well, I doubt her intent was to frighten people. She probably was jazzed that she could put together some LEDS and resistors and make it light up.

I would think only the LEDs would be supposed to be showing outside the sweatshirt. I wonder how much of it was showing when she approached the service desk to ask about the flight?
And what was the role of the play dough? It would have been a more interesting, uh, artistic statement to have had the LEDs in a line, displaying a binary value being counted down, and a cable running into the lump of dough.
Of course, a real suicide bomb would have been hidden under the shirt with no lights, just a concealed pushbutton.
