Why was she holding Play-Doh?

I don't know. Maybe it just feels good in your hand? It would have been more interesting if a cap had been inserted in the Doh and wired to a device programmed to recognize the words "Allahu Akbar!" shouted out with hands reaching for heaven. Oh, and don't forget the carpet tacks.

Here she is leaving court:

I love the look on her boyfriends face,
"Wow... nice goin' genius..."

She seems to be enjoying the whole thing.

The fairest solution would be for airport security and the local court system to offer to free her in exchange for a check from the parents covering all their costs to deal with their kooky daughter.

She “said it was a piece of art,” Margolis said, and “refused to answer any more questions.” Jake Wark, spokesperson for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, said that Simpson only described the LED lights after she was “repeatedly questioned by the MassPort employee.” Simpson then “roamed briefly around the terminal,” Wark said. Margolis said this caused several Logan employees to flee the building. As Simpson left the building, she disconnected the battery powering the device, according to a press release provided by Wark.
Simpson had five to six ounces of Play-Doh in her hands, State Police Maj. Scott Pare said in a press conference this morning. The Play-Doh could have been mistaken for plastic explosives.

Fter reading the article, I believe she KNEW exactly what she was doing.
