Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport. "She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day," Pare said at a news conference. "She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it." The battery-powered rectangular device had nine flashing lights, he said. Simpson also had Play-Doh in her hands, he said. The phrases "Socket to me" and "Course VI" were written on the back of sweat shirt, which authorities displayed to the media. Course VI appears to be a reference to MIT's major of electrical engineering and computer science. Simpson was charged with disturbing the peace and possessing a hoax device.</font> </p> She lucky she didn't get blasted by a couple of overzealous TSA workers. Moron.</p>

Everytime I go through security check I see them chatting about lunch, a TV show from the previous night, and not paying much attention to the x-ray screen.</p> </p>
Dumb bitch. Some people don't understand how serious they are at the airport. You sneeze, and they think you are carrying some death virus.

I had my laptop bag searched three times at the same checkpoint. :| It must look strange under the x-ray, because the guy was asking me if I had liquid solutions or secret compartments in it. :|</p> </p> </p>
I was going to apply to MIT, but I just put that application to the bottom of the pile, and decided, no way I'm taking your Subject Tests in Math and Physics!</p> Yeah, Orlando airport is horrible. That one is so busy. But if you go to a place, like Milwaukee's airport, its very lax.</p>
I would never want to go to MIT. That's basically like taking all of the most nonsocial people in the world and putting them on a campus. It'd be pathetic and you wouldn't get that awesome college experience.

^Good choice. </p> </p> To further my point, this cracked me up - http://www-tech.mit.edu/V116/N24/socialscene.24l.html (from the MIT student newspaper). "We as a student body need to put a more concerted effort towards being social." LMAO</p>
I've been to MIT (to visit a friend) and my impression was that a wild weekend at MIT was still more tame than an average weeknight at Michigan State </p> Of course, there were several points I was convinced I'd given myself brain damage while at MSU, so I'm not sure that's all that great either. </p>

She should be expelled for pulling this stunt, but I'm pretty sure she won't.Amazing how stupid she is. Incredible.</p> </p>

When I was in HS I took a campus tour of MIT, as it was one of the schools I was thinking of applying to. 5 minutes after I got on campus I realized this was not the place for me...to say the least
