Star Simpson, You're A Dumbass!

A student with a fake bomb strapped to her chest was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport, later claiming it was artwork.

Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing. The device had wires connected to a battery, allowing it to light up, and Simpson also had Play-Doh in her hands.

"She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day," said State Police Maj. Scott Pare. "She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it."

Simpson was charged with disturbing the peace and possessing a hoax device.

Simpson was "extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used," Pare said. "She's lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue."

Unbelievably, Simpson is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology sophomore.

She was arrested about 8 a.m. outside Terminal C after she approached an information booth to ask about an incoming flight — while wearing the device. Pare said Simpson took a subway to the airport, but he was not sure if she had the device on at that time. "She was allegedly picking somebody up," said Pare.

I think that Logan is the one airport you don't want to be trying that stunt at, considering their history. Unlike the awesome Aqua Teen Hunger Force promo that sent the city into a batshit frenzy, this was a suspicious person with a device on them at the airport. They should have shot her until their guns were empty. You can't be that goddamn stupid...or can you? X-ing her from the gene pool would only help mankind.

A quick recap: light up cartoon character posted around town = good; girl at airport with device on her chest = bad.

UPDATE:

Looking at the "device", it's pretty lame, but you still can't mess around with airports in the fear soaked world we live in. Now I'm just irritated she calls it "art". Shoot her for that. I've had headcolds yielding more artistic work in tissue paper that that.
