"She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day,"
Search is your friend. :-)
Interestingly, I searched “MIT” and nothing came up. Oh well. Please delete.
You know...I just don’t even have words. Oh wait, yes, I do. One.
IDIOT.
Doesn’t look anything like a bomb to me, more like a breadboard taped to a sweatshirt.
I think people confuse “crazy looking electronics” with “bomb” way too much.
She stood out all right. Now she is known as an IDIOT nationwide.
Not Guilty!
She is definitely mentally disturbed. Maybe she wanted them to shoot her - to add more authenticity to her artwork.
“However, she was rational...”
Um....Nope.
I’m and engineer, and I know how prestigeous a degree from MIT is, but honestly, some of the smart people who get in there have no common sense. I wonder who ties her shoes for her...
Well, when the benefit of the doubt could make others have to identify your less than quarter inch square body pieces so they can bury perhaps 10% of you in box, it tends to have a certain effect on you.
MIT? Great brain power but absolutely NO common sense with this one.
Fifteen-seconds of FAME?
She will certainly “stand out” on career day now.
(Actually, she’ll be standing out in the exercise yard.)
“Simpson was “extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used,”
Next time shoot first and then ask questions. That’ll put a stop to this foolishness immediately. The police have enough on their hands without clowns like this student.
I agree. She’s probably a very intelligent person when it comes to her chosen field, but she probably hasn’t got clue one about the social skills reguired to function in small groups or the public at large. In those areas, she may be close to functionally illiterate.
I doubt she had a clue as to the way she was going to be percieved.
The authorities reacted they way they had to IMO.
oh I bet she thinks she’s being “oh so clever”!
reality check: she’s being “oh so STOOPID”!!!
what a maroon. she’s lucky someone didn’t shoot her. can we get together and send her a bag of peanuts in jail?
My gripe here is that people seem to think any kind of electronic device outside of a fancy enclosure is a BOMB. Wave an iPod around an airport and nobody will think twice. Now try removing the enclosure, you’ll end up in the same spot as this lady.
I blame Hollywood.
