These people that whine about a double post must not want people to read it as I would never have seen the news without this post! That's at least two of us.
When I see a post that I have already read.....I don't click on it. It's very easy to not do.

So you seem to be saying this WAS NOT a bomb and you know this how? Or did you think that because it DIDN’T LOOK like a bomb it shouldn't have caused any alarm since we all know that bombs always have a certain definite look to them.
Back to DU for you.

Guilty! (of not being hot) Are we looking at the same picture? There may be an age difference between us, I'm 62 and maybe not as discerning as when I was younger.

I know it was not a bomb because THE POLICE SAID IT WAS NOT A BOMB. RTFA.
Back to the CAVE for you troll.

Right on.
I think they should have shot her in the leg. Her stupidity warrants at least that much of a sentence.

"I think people confuse crazy looking electronics with bomb way too much."
So are all ordinary front-line staff plus police and fire personnel supposed to be trained as electrical engineers so they can instantly distinguish "fake bomb" from "real bomb"?? I don't know what that thing looks like, but I'm not an engineer or geek and if I saw someone walking through an airport with a circuit board plus small power source on the front of their chest I'd certainly think there was at least a chance it could be a dangerous device.
I do know that in an age of suicide bombings and threats to aviation no sensible person would walk through an airport like that, or think that they should be allowed to walk through an airport like that. But maybe she'll have some ACLU types argue that it's her constitutional right to walk through airports displaying any type of electrical objects she chooses to display......

I disagree. She is so self absorbed she doesn’t care about anyone else.
There are plenty more like her.

Your gripe is misplaced. Anyone who deliberately does anything, such as remove the back of an IPOD and then wave it around, as you suggest, is trying to draw attention to him/herself and this “device”. Given the situation we today find ourselves in and the fear we all have to live with when traveling, whomever does this sort of thing needs to pay dearly AND have their photo and punishment spread nationwide just so people get the idea of the price they will have to pay if they do the same thing.
The girl is a damn fool and needs to spend a minimum of 30 days in jail as well as pay a fine of at least $15000.
The only good that will come out of this is we will soon see the parents of this twit go public and decry the system that preys on a young girl who was only trying to make an artful statement.
In the end we can all have a good laugh on their behalf.
To: CaliGangsta
Look there’s some truth in what you are saying, but I can’t entirely agree.
What would be the purpose of having bare electronics in this public setting? People are naturally going to want to investigate. As long as you could provide a reasoned explanaton, and perhaps show them the device functioning, they’d probably make you put it in your luggage and forget about it.
There’s just too much going on right now. If I have to take my shoes, jacket and other items off to get through security, bare electronics seem like fair game to me.
Take care.

To: CaliGangsta
Oh gee, you are sooo clever. Tell me did the police KNOW this was no bomb BEFORE they arrested the girl? If so how? Are you even aware that she wasn't ARRESTED for having a bomb? Did you KNOW that she was arrested for having a deceiving device? Do you claim that no one should ever be arrested unless it is first proved that they have a bomb? Or better yet, should we wait until the bomb actually EXPLODES?
Like I said, back to DU, or is it KOS.
To: Lorianne
That may be the case. I have known some brilliant people who couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag. While that’s an exageration, it’s not that much of one.

...she was rational, and she did answer all questions as required," Pare said....What questions other than "do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you?" is she *required* to answer??

Moderator wanna bees are a dime a dozen here. Get in line. The mods wait for someone to bring things to their attention. I'm happy to help.
I think duplicates are a waste of FR resources, and it keeps smaller groups of users separated, though discussing the same article.
Everyone benefits by eliminating duplicates.
It's not a "smack-down", so please don't react as if it were.

Why didn’t she just apply for a MSNBC job like every other irresponsible, attention-seeking huckster?
I’m sure they would have found a spot between Matthews and Olbermann in the genius category. Next, she’ll be suing CBS for $70 million and they’ll give her the Evening News anchor job instead.
What won’t these self-proclaimed liberal geniuses think up next?
