No, a bomb is an explosive AND some kind of device to detonate it.
Like some kind of electronic device maybe.
Which might include a circuit board with wires running to the explosive.
Plastique isn't particularly dangerous without a detonator.
It appears, at least, that this fake device looked like it had both.

Look at the picture and tell me where that explosive is. I can't seem to find it but your eyes are probably better than mine. The mountain air and all that.
Again, she wasn't a danger all over Boston or even in the airport but somehow magically she became one outside the airport so they sent someone with a high power automatic weapon after her (with a silencer I might add). And of course, Boston seems to have a history of incidences similar to this.
I've seen Terminator. The thought of robots with explosives freaks me out. They should have shot her.

Nope, I can't see it either. However I'm not one of the airport employees or police officers who were on the scene. They might have seen something that isn't visible in a one dimensional picture.
It's also probably good to remember where part of the 9/11 hijacked aircraft attack originated. Logan Airport as I recall. They might be a little more touchy about security than some other places.
It probably speaks to the professionalism of the State Police that someone didn't react more strongly.
The woman is lucky. Dumb, but lucky.

You can use shoes and liquids and ipods to blow up a plane so it's hardly beyond imagination that this chick from MIT could find some way to do something equally as dumb.

Right. They should shoot everyone wearing a shoe, drinking a liquid, or carrying an ipod.

if they shot you ...that would be a start and end this baseless defense of an equally not so bright girl being debated on this thread.

Actually if you ask me, the police are lucky. They're lucky that they made a stupid mistake and get to have the media on their side. They're lucky they didn't kill her or anyone around her walking around with those big silenced guns. And when they add another incident just like this to their list, I'm sure they'll be lucky again.
