ya they said that in the article I read. But still. You'd think. heightened security. Fear. Maybe I shouldn't wear something that looks like a bunch of wires in a vest to the airport. It's fine around campus, esp for folks who know the club name on the back. IJS.

Yeah, probably. I've read that airport security will sometimes confiscates any homemade electronic device.

But the play-doh in her hands?

Yeah, I haven't seen a good explanation for that.

I've also read that she was just picking up a friend at the airport. So they caught her without her even going through security? (which you need a boarding pass to do)

But the play-doh in her hands?

Yeah, I haven't seen a good explanation for that.

That's what makes me think she was likely being a dick.

Can you imagine being the security personnel who just went through that? If she was being "clever" it was a shitty shitty thing to do to them.

bonny, what everyone else said. Although a doctor might be able to tell you what you are and aren't physically capable of.

MIT student not necessarily stupid, but definitely lacking in street smarts. Though the police officer's statement is a little too close to a "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude for comfort.

I work with idiots.

So we (finally) have wi-fi routers for guest artists. But the higher ups don't want actors to access the wi-fi. So they set up a wired router in the green room. Both routers are linked only to the internet, and not to the internal networks and ticket networks. So I ask, what's the difference? Why not just give the actors a password to the wi-fi so they can stay in their dressing rooms, easy to find? The answer: "The difference is that one is wireless and one is hard wired into the wall"

A different article said it wasn't a fake bomb, just some arty electronic thing she made.

Just some arty electronic thing she made and then wore to the airport.

Oh, Anne. The world needs to give your mom a freaking break already.

Just some arty electronic thing she made and then wore to the airport.

Yeah.

Well, in her defense, the electronic thing was inside the jacket and she wore the jacket all the time and she just grabbed it without thinking and headed off to the airport early in the morning.

So, not the brightest thing to do, but it seems like many people could have such a lapse.
