A possible terrorist (citing reason on the internet(S) as a prudent policy-making attribute)

Code-named Brickbat - died today of self inflicted gunshot wounds (plural) in his Maryland home....

Homeland Security discovered his body during a routine search of people who are not with U.S. so therefore must be against U.S.

We found him 'One Enforcer" was quoted as saying...but he took the coward's way out first...

Overreaction to this by media pundits - LIVE on FOX News...Billo to weigh in on his former sexual relationship with this well know editorialist...

Narcissism ...a new fragrance by BUSH.

What person goes into an area where people are being screened with any type of suspicous looking device? To the comment that she wasn't thinking about her appearance, she is quoted as saying it was an art statment, so eveidently she knew what she was wearing. To the comment about bombs not having LED lights, I assume ( this may make an ass of you and me) you are a current or former member of EOD. If not, shut your fly hole!

People complain about the long lines at security in airports, then this Moron makes an art statement!!!

If this is the future minds of our country, we are doomed! Get over yourselves and remember, we have freedom of speech, but you can't yell fire in a crowded theater if there isn't any fire. This was plain stupid, art statment or not.

Rtdevildog,

What?!

What makes the device suspicious ? LEDs are wires sure has hell shouldn't.

If she's the only MIT student wandering around with electronics in her cloths I'd be surprised.

As for yelling Fire ! in a crowded theather - it was the police that did that - not the student.

Why all the sudden hyperactivity this week? Did Gen Y run fresh out of their meds Monday morning or something? Too much refined sugar in the Lucky Charms?

If Andrew Meyer's stellar debut a few days ago and now today's exhibit by art ingenue Star Simpson are any indication, we may now face an entire decade ahead of this kind of vacuous "gimme my fame NOW mommy" self-immolation. Koolaid-haired kids tossing themselves off of buildings trailing bunting advertising their myspace pages, Emo kids breaking into the White House while wearing jihadist attire, "as a joke..."

Right...

Bear in mind, Gen X readers: there are 90 million of these pod creatures roaming your and my America right now. The Offspring of The Baby Boomers are now upon us all.

This means we here trapped in Generation X are in for a very long ride indeed, folks... be afraid.

Be very afraid.

Once again, Osama bin Laden is chuckling to himself, our country's friends are shaking their heads, and a lot of others are laughing out loud at us. A prosecutor and a state police officer wet their pants over a light-up circuit board brooch, and then start power-sniveling about a "post-9/11 world." Circuit boards are no more dangerous now than they were on September 10, 2001. The main thing that changed in America after 9/11 is that fear, which had become a big seller in recent decades, has now soared to the top of the charts. What has happened to us?

If you don't know a breadboard with LEDs from a bomb there is NO HOPE you can understand any new technology.

It is really sad that a place where the east coast version of Silicon Valley once existed, Route 128, is now home to such technical ignorance.

Two strikes.

First the Cartoon Network devices that looked NOTHING LIKE bombs.

Second these LEDs in a star outline that looks NOTHING LIKE a bomb.

One more and they will have to move MIT.

Did you read the other letters....

A teenager in college - who is whom?,

Immersed in her work, slightly abnormal, creative, distracted by the smell's of exhaust fumes mixed with the coming Fall, wondering why the information weiny was bothering her, he is the information guy, she is a CUSTOMER...

Picking up her boyfriend, early, afraid to go back inside, wondering if they actually are SERIOUS, with those question and people wide eyed stares,

Should I hide my jacket?

I came in a cab,

Will they see me hiding it and shoot me , uh oh, here they come,

IT WAS OVER FOR her before she ever caught on, you fucking post. got teenagers? do you know what 800 fucking AM is to a teenager,

It's Bedtime you fool.

"""" People complain about the long lines at security in airports, then this Moron makes an art statement!!! """"

She never was in line at the AIRPORT you Depends wearing freak!

MIT is the other big Asperger's school aside from Caltech.

It's so typical of some young genius with Asperger's not to realize that normal people might feel frightened to death by seeing someone wear this weird thing in the airport.

Some kind of autism counselor needs to take this girl aside and teach her about that strange human social custom called "being considerate of the feelings of other human beings."

They just pushed my buttons again,

Probably trying to drive us sane folks out of the woodwork for those cages in the heartland....well, it worked I am exposed, I do really think the Government is absent.

So you blame people for their own fear?

How are normal people supposed to know exactly what is a bomb and exactly what isn't?

It's really nasty to blame people for feeling afraid of something they don't understand, something that looks TO THEM, in their own limited understanding, like it could be a bomb

Look up "empathy" in your favorite dictionary and meditate on the word for a while.

I'm sure everyone here can spell "empathy" but I wonder how many are able to feel it?

Not for yourself and people like you -- but for those normal people who aren't at all like you.

Silenced, take another bong hit and go to sleep you tool.

Get real kiddies.

You are standing in the security line and out of the corner of your eyes you spott a hooded person, with a blinky thingy on the chest of their jacket. Loose wires and a nice battery taped to it all. Do turn to your travel companion and say, Oh look sweetie is that not the cutest jacket you have ever seen, or to you say... Fuck, OMG, what the heck are they wearing. Then on closer inspection, the Jack ass of a an artist as she calls her self, is molding in her hand a wad of putty, or could it be clay, or OMG, some plastic stuff that really goes Kla Bloom in the night.

For you that support this Little miss Twinkie, who had the gall to think that she was just walking around being a little kid with no idea of how these things might look to even the most basically trained security person have got to get your heads out of your butt holes and imagine for a moment you were one of the said persons about to board flight XXX being sent straight back to Mother earth.

She is half lucky that MIT does not banish her little ass back to the care of Mom and Dad. And I am guessing from the look of her face, slightly Asian, with a great deal of dishonor.

Well Ms. Star, you really shown bright today. To bad it was not for your brain power that first got you into MIT in the first place, but for your lack there of. It just goes to show you that perhaps it really does not take a rocket scientist to design a bomb after all. For who really knew what was lurking behind that circuit board or hidden in her titties.

Wake up people, if a bomb can be hidden in a little brown envelope, then surely a significant amount of Boom could be strapped to that girls body.

Thank god Mom and Dad were not being called to Boston to reclaim their daughter. Now does anyone else want to put their hand on the hot stove?
