I'm quite regular thank you. I don't need any extra fiber in my diet.

Until then we'll just keep posting at you. Besides, you're just setting yourself up to be the only candidate. I'm sure Her Majesty has never heard the word "holla" before.

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.

That must be the standard issue explosive that ALL bombwearers must use in accordance to the Standardized Manual for Small Arms Explosives for Use in Airports and Planes Revision 402.
whew....I am so relieved....that bomb explains all of every last bomb that has been detonated since the first bomb went off ever...
...my God can he get any dumber?..or is it more dumb...it's 12:30 am....

I'd rather have security err on the side of caution than not look properly and get us all blown up. Just a personal opinion.

Did she intend for the circuit board to resemble a bomb? Did she intend to rankle security? If so, she ought to face serious consequences.
Security in this day and age is not something to be joked about or played with. It is a fact of life and a necessity.
6 years ago, about 3,000 people would tend to have agreed that airport security is not a worthy target for a prank. Whether she's an eccentric or not, she ought to be hit hard for this.

How did it resemble a bomb Kevin? Where were the explosives or anything that resembled an explosive?

Just because it only looks like a component of a bomb doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. If she was like crazy shoe bomber guy, just more technologically advanced, she could have been meeting someone else with the explosive while she had the trigger. Don't assume that she must have had C4 on her to be a danger.
(Haven't read anything on this except parts of this thread.)

Does the crime require that there be explosives? I'm definitely not an expert on airplane bombs, but I would think that all but the electronic parts would be pretty easy to get past security (assuming you had C-4 or some sort of liquid explosive).
If she set out to "prank" security into thinking she was carrying a bomb or bomb components (several people could theoretically carry components onto a plane and assemble them in-air), that seems to make out a case for the crime.
I'm sure the FBI/FAA or whoever investigates this will come forward with more facts or some actual charges. In the meantime, based on what little we know, I'm satisfied with the current state of affairs.

Don't tell air marshals that the backpack you're carrying is a bomb.
