MIT Student Doesn't Have A Clue

Common sense is not rocket science, but apparently it's not something you can learn at MIT.
A woman arrested Friday for carrying a fake bomb into Boston's Logan airport is an MIT computer whiz who loves "crazy ideas" and "saving the planet from evil villains," according to her blog on a Web site hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In her blog, MIT student Star Simpson says she is "currently studying computers and how they work." Simpson also participates in MIT's MITER project, a student run electronics engineering workshop.
Cops arrested Simpson, 19, on Friday after she reportedly walked into Logan International Airport with a fake bomb made of lights, wires, and putty strapped to her chest. She was charged with disturbing the peace and perpetrating a hoax.
Too bad those police officers tasered that guy earleir this week, I think it would have been funny if they lit her up like a Christmas tree. She is definitely the moron of the week.

A little review of the news would show that Star Simpson wasn't trying to be funny, she was trying to meet someone at the airport at 8 AM. State Police stopped her at gunpoint, and determined her blinkie toy was harmless.
What turned this into a circus was that the police didn't send her away with a warning. They arrested her and crowed about it to every nitwit with a TV camera, and one AP reporter as clueless as Simpson herself.
