Here’s something to smash wine bottles on your head at…
Apparently, this MIT student was nearly shot for wearing a sweatshirt with a breadboard and a bunch of LEDs on it. From Declan McCallugh’s blog…
An MIT student named Star Simpson was apparently picking up a friend at Boston Logan airport and wore a sweatshirt with a breadboard and some LEDs and a 9V battery. She had created it for a student career day.Big mistake. She was nearly killed by police (armed with semiautomatic weapons that some jurisdictions prevent law-abiding Americans from owning) who surrounded her. State Police Maj. Scott Pare actually told the press that she was "extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used... She's lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue."
Not helping your case, Major Pare.
What kind of idiot would do that? I mean, really. Here is a picture of the sweatshirt…
First of all, that looks nothing like a bomb. Secondly, if it looked like a bomb at all, what kind of idiot terrorist would walk into an airport with a bomb taped on their chest like that?
