Yes, she pretended it was a bomb. She wore a circuit board, complete with battery, while carrying modeling clay.

She had the Play-Doh in her hand. People sometimes squeeze the stuff as therapy for a hand injury. It feels good.
It's not clear if Moncayo even saw the Play-Doh. In order for it to be construed as a bomb (by a non-moron, that is), it would need to have had a detonator inserted and wired up to the circuit.
The wires could conceivably have gone through the front of the hoodie, and down the sleeve. Remember, it was just a brief glance by this employee.
