I think this is her.

It is she.

She's 19. I'll bet even money that she's going to be diagnosed as schizoid. She is at the right age. I've seen this happen many times before, 19 year olds flipping the switch and crossing over to another universe.

Surprisingly, she’s an attractive woman. Clearly she was in better shape - and more flatteringly styled - before her first year in college.

Star SIMPSON? She either told the cops:

"I'm as innocent as anyone else out there"
or

I didn't do it, nobody say me do it, you can't prove anything--don't have a cow, man

Must beg to differ. Diagnosis: liberal

Everyone’s assuming that she is a protester, but that’s not clear from the article or other information here.

Odds are that she is. But like other MIT students, she also seems to be a nerd, with a fondness for racing machines and the like.

Yes, this was an extremely stupid thing to do. But why she was stupid enough to do it remains to be seen. I’m sure her IQ is off the charts, but sometimes smart young people can do some pretty stupid things.

In a sentence, I'm an inventor, artist, engineer, and student, I love to build things and I love crazy ideas.

She'll now be able to add a new word to her list of accomplishments: criminal.

The self-descriptive text and pictures at her web page makes her sound like an intelligent but goofy kid. Giving her a massive benefit of doubt for youthful immaturity, my sense is that the "device" was probably was meant to be a joke on the friend she was picking up.

Guess she failed to notice that jokes of this type are out in the age of terrorism. She's damn lucky, damn lucky not to be dead.

Even better...FNC is reporting that the woman is an “artist”. Attention whoreism is becoming a national epidemic. What is it with these people?

What they should have done is immediately put a bullet in her mush brain. They had no idea it was a fake until they had their hands on her. In situations like that, shoot the fool in the head first and worry about it later. Screw all the “she has rights” bunch. She forfeited all those when she walked through the door with the bomb/fake bomb on.

I just saw that, too—art? The art of extreme stupidity:

>>BOSTON (AP) — An MIT student with a fake bomb strapped to her chest - later claiming it was art - was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport, officials said.

It's a crying shame she isn't. People this stupid should not be permitted to inhabit the same earth as the rest of us.

From the Google search page. I can't get to link to work. The MIT guys probably have it blocked.

She sure had a real crazy idea this time.

(A cop on Ch 7 in Boston just said deadly force would have been used had she not followed the instructions the cops
gave her. Her shirt said “Core 6, Socket To Me”. Core 6 is apparently a popular major at the college.)
