So I haven’t posted for a while. Lots of late nights at work.
But I just felt I had to link to the story of a not-so-intelligent MIT student.
An MIT student wearing what turned out to be a fake bomb was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport and later claimed it was artwork, officials said.
Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.
“She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day,” Pare said at a news conference. “She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it.”
She’s lucky to be alive, is what she is.
If there’s one place where I don’t want people to be sympathetic, or have senses of humour, it’s the airport security section.
A little healthy paranoia goes a long way when travelling by air!
Good to see you posting again.
