Star Simpson arrested for fake bomb at Logan Airport

Star Simpson, an MIT student, was arrested for strapping a fake bomb complete with lights, wires, and putty, to her chest and walking in to the Logan International Airport in Boston.

 

The 19-year-old was arrested Friday and charged with disturbing the peace and perpetrating a hoax. The airport is constantly on high security and is on alert for any bombs or terror related incidents as two of the planes involved in the September 11 (9/11) hijacks came from the Logan airport.

 

Simpson is currently enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the computer and science program. She reportedly wrote on her blog that she loves “crazy ideas” and using “delivered-just-in-time-gadgets” to save the world from “evil villains.”
