MIT computer whiz arrested with fake bomb at Logan airport

[DeltAlum]

There's obviously a difference between being intelligent enough to go to MIT and being smart.

Stupid move on her part.

Did she think she is smart enough to "beat" the security system?

That could have been "terminal" dumb -with no pun intended.

At MIT, we used the acronym SPAMIT - Stupid People At MIT. There used to be a group that sold t-shirts with the acronym and a doctored version of the MIT seal - one of the men on the seal is wearing fuzzy bunny slippers, for example.

If anyone deserves the label SPAMIT, it's this chick.

Apparently, when the police approached her, she did exactly what they told her to do - and if she hadn't, they could have used deadly force.

Cut me a break. It was a circuit board. Open up any computer, your walkman, your tv...anything and there's a circuitboard inside. That's not a bomb. It looks nothing like a bomb. In fact, why don't you list the number of instances where someone wore an object that looked nothing like a bomb on a shirt and walked around an airport? Oh wait, that's never/rarely happened and hence lends nothing to precedence?

She should have been shot for that? That's the appropriate thing to do? Why not also shoot every person that's not carrying a bible and a Republican membership card in their hand?

Are you people that stupid? Wow.

No Rudey,

Maybe you are.....read the above posts again...no one said that she SHOULD BE shot....what we DID say was she was LUCKY in that circumstance that she WASN'T shot. Then it was REFERENCED about the LAST TIME post 911 someone who said he DID HAVE a bomb who WAS SHOT.


If the passages above aren't clear, you are welcome to read my signature to yourself 100 times.

Since you cannot read, SHE DID NOT HAVE A BOMB. IN FACT IT DIDNT REALLY RESEMBLE A BOMB.

Also, you uneducated boob, that's what YOU said. It's not a collective "We". One person said they would not be sorry if she was shot.

Now shutup.

I wouldn't feel sorry for you if you were shot right now either...one less dunce in the world.

I tell you what....do us all a favor...since you are hell bent to prove us wrong...why do you go to the nearest airport and attempt the exact same stunt that she did....when done....please come back here and post your observations.

I guess it looked enough like a bomb to get the security people upset.

They may be stupid, too, but they're the ones who count in this case.

it's only as stupid to do nothing and let her on a plane and the plane blows up and the FAA has to put together a report as to why nothing was done and how did she manage to slip by security and how could this have ahppened after 9/11........that's all.

The above is barely english. I'm responding only to what it is I *think* you mean. There's no possible way to truly divine what you were attempting to communicate in the above, so here's my best effort: (Drole? We could really use your translation services here)

How is a circuit board going to blow up a plane? What would the FAA report say? "We briefly detained a young woman with a circuit board strapped to her body, further investigation revealed it was her odd idea of a fashion statement."

English even you can understand Kevin

You are about as dense as Rudey is if you don't get what happened.

How dare you even think you are above all if you think you are so intelligent that you can call yourself 'correcting' me.

Still smarting from the verbal tonguelashing of last week is the reason why you still persist in trying to engage me....

DO one of three things if you think you are up to talking to me

Step up, step forward, or step off

Basically if they almost shoot you because you have a laptop with you, it's OK because they're the ones who count.

I didn't say shooting anyone was OK.

I think it's dumb to try to carry something aboard an aircraft that makes the security people think it's a bomb.

Clearly, this wasn't your standard laptop.

Why not? It's a circuit board. A standard laptop has a circuit board and even more.

Were there explosives or what looked like explosives attached? No.

If it was a bomb, what are the chances it would be uncovered without a casing as well?

Basically it looked nothing like a bomb. Just like a laptop.

. That looks like a bomb.
