A woman who walked into Logan International Airport allegedly wearing a fake bomb strapped to chest was arrested at gunpoint Friday, officials said.
Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board, wiring and a putty that later turned out to be Play-Doh in plain view over a black hooded sweatshirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.
After a Massachusetts Port Authority official notified State Police about 8 a.m., troopers tracked Simpson down outside Terminal C, where they arrested her and later determined the device was a fake.

A bit more, not too relevant.
“She’s extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used,” Pare told The Associated Press. “And she’s lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue.”
How can somebody so stupid get into MIT?
Note on 20. The top pic is from when she entered MIT, the bottom pic is after she was in MIT for a year.

In the movie, "LA Story", Sarah Jessica Parker plays the prototypical blond LA airhead and the character's name is "SanDeE*", who was studying to be a "spokesmodel".
If there's a remake, Star should get the part.
Why is she still alive?
I would’ve double tap|headshot’d her from jump. Then the rest of us could’ve gotten on with our lives.
“How can somebody so stupid get into MIT?”
My thoughts exactly.
Tase her, Bro!!!!!!
She and the whole protest movement, including TaserBoy, basically have adopted the Beavis and Butthead rhetorical style. Hee, hee, snort, snort, aren’t we so funny poking fun at the “establishment” with our cleaver rants, shouting other people down and especially our little “gags” like pretending to bring a bomb on a plane. hee, hee, snort, snort.
Oh, if anyone knows Beavis and Butthead, please apologize for me. I realize its a bit insulting to be compared to these morons.
Gee-I sure hope they tasered her-I’ve just got to hear another idiot scream-”don’t taze me bro”
Does she have a MysSpace page?
What possible statement could this dipstick have been trying to make other than to ruin MIT’s reputation?
No Shooty!
This is Boston- if the computer board had an LED picture of Mooninites, the cops would have fired at once even if she’d been in a crowd.
But they gave her the benefit of the doubt. They probably had to arrange the encounter so that there were no people within 20 meters, in case the play-doh was actually C4, and once you have the target isolated, you have the luxury of some conversation before you decide to take a life.
Fake bombs as apparel, it’s the new black!
Another thread on the story:

For her encore she’s going to assemble an all-black, fake .50 caliber rifle, dress in camo, and point it at police cars driving by her tree stand.
IMHO: She should cover her face in Crocodile dung and shed a few tears for all the good it will do her.
CougarGA7 and I were discussing this, it's the libs version of "Hold muh beer, and watch this."
With the advent of myspace and youtube, the new species is Digital Narcissist.
Every time a dumbass pilot enters DC airspace, he’s “escorted” out by an F-16. Usually, though, the F-16 flies along-side while the aircraft approaches the White House. Too little, too late.
Just once, shoot down these aircraft and it’ll stop happening.
Likewise, the Israeli’s have a habit of taking the head shot on guys with suicide vests. If this were to happen ONCE in an American airport, this stuff would stop.
Just sayin’.
