(AP) BOSTON An MIT student has been arrested at gunpoint after allegedly walking into Logan International Airport with a fake bomb strapped to her chest this morning.
State police say 19-year-old Star Simpson, a sophomore from Hawaii, had a computer circuit board, wiring and a putty that later turned out to be Play-Doh in plain view over a black hooded sweatshirt she was wearing.
Stay with wbztv.com and WBZ-TV for the latest on this developing story.
After she gets out of prison.
I have actually and you're right.
BTW...Why does your quote of my post appear that way? I've never seen that before on here.
My first thought was that this was an attempted suicide by cop.
White play dough looks a lot like C4.
Parents names her Star.....child of hippies, most likely.

LOL. So your parents were Vikings?
I have actually and you're right.I use the blockquote html tag. old habit. Give it try :)

BaHa! the mysteries of HTML!
So smart, and yet so dumb.
I hope she’ll enjoy the Machine Shop at MCI-Framingham
The main difference between her and ATHF is her walking into an airport with plastique-looking material and the other was a few flashing lights.
After she gets out of prison.Mummy and daddy(and MIT for that matter) won't want their little precious doing any hard time. The name "Star" screams rich narcissistic hippie, hard time is for the lumpenproles. I'll bet a beer she ends up with a suspended sentence and back at MIT.
Same with me. I travel a lot and I do watch people very carefully when I do.
I’m willing to bet she is going to say that she thought the security was in reality so bad that she could get through with it and make a “point”.
Ok, thanks...I will.
No. My father is Hungarian, my mother is German. They just wanted to give me a european name that Americans could pronounce and spell.
My feeling (especially after reading her profile) is that she was probably wearing a piece of homemade “edgy” art jewelry.
Same with me. I travel a lot and I do watch people very carefully when I do.She doesn't need to prove it to me. At the airport I worked at(before 9/11) we had a plastic bomb(three plastic rods and an alarm clock) for security checks. It made it through the xray every time.

Nah. Here is a slideshow of her with her shop friends. Relatively normal-looking engineer types.
Looks like she shaved her head -- I'm guessing for St. Baldric's or the swim team.
Silly Putty looks like the comic you press it against.
Good grief! I swear it wasn’t me! I’m 20. :-)
She’ll claim she was working on a college project and sue the City and the airport.
