yeah the putty was weird, i’ll give you that.
maybe she designed the shirt for a geeky club meeting at MIT and then decided to take some putty along with it to the airport thinking it would be an amusing afterthought. maybe she thought she was so obviously not a terrorist it would be amsuing. who knows
i do know that shooting her in the head for carrying some putty and lights in the shape of a star on her chest would have been the worst thing in the world for the police to have done.
this is a free country is it not? she was making no threat. unless this is some society where no one can wear anything slightly out of the ordinary in an airport without taking a bullet for it
would she have been shot for wearing that in a crowded restaurant? she was not even on a plane or boarding one
In other words, the police did a good job of dealing with a potentially bad situation caused by a jackass.
And btw, the electronics was 7th grade stuff. Evidently, MIT ain't what it used to be.
