She was carrying a hoax device but was charged with carrying a hoax device. Clearly overcharging.
One of the most stunningly stupid stunts in memory. Throw the book at her, lock her up and throw away the ket. To encourage the others.
I don’t think it was a hoax, or that she had any intention of such. She’s clearly an idiot who didn’t think things through, but I don’t think she went to the airport with sinister motives in mind.
I don’t have a problem with her detainment, but charging her with a terrorist act is overreaching.
