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.

It is she.
She's 19. I'll bet even money that she's going to be diagnosed as schizoid. She is at the right age. I've seen this happen many times before, 19 year olds flipping the switch and crossing over to another universe.
Surprisingly, she’s an attractive woman. Clearly she was in better shape - and more flatteringly styled - before her first year in college.
“Digital Narcissist”
excellent, TJ.
Stolen, but I forgot from where.
“She’s 19. I’ll bet even money that she’s going to be diagnosed as schizoid. She is at the right age. I’ve seen this happen many times before, 19 year olds flipping the switch and crossing over to another universe.”
Must beg to differ. Diagnosis: liberal
Everyone’s assuming that she is a protester, but that’s not clear from the article or other information here.
Odds are that she is. But like other MIT students, she also seems to be a nerd, with a fondness for racing machines and the like.
Yes, this was an extremely stupid thing to do. But why she was stupid enough to do it remains to be seen. I’m sure her IQ is off the charts, but sometimes smart young people can do some pretty stupid things.
She'll now be able to add a new word to her list of accomplishments: criminal.
The self-descriptive text and pictures at her web page makes her sound like an intelligent but goofy kid. Giving her a massive benefit of doubt for youthful immaturity, my sense is that the "device" was probably was meant to be a joke on the friend she was picking up.
Guess she failed to notice that jokes of this type are out in the age of terrorism. She's damn lucky, damn lucky not to be dead.
...planted THESE devices around town...
Your post is the kindest, gentlest take on this incident.
Just making trial runs....
Man, I’d just love to take a pair of scissors to that guys hair....
I just saw that, too—art? The art of extreme stupidity:

She sure had a real crazy idea this time.
(A cop on Ch 7 in Boston just said deadly force would have been used had she not followed the instructions the cops
gave her. Her shirt said “Core 6, Socket To Me”. Core 6 is apparently a popular major at the college.)
