I would never walk into an airport with this 'art' on my shirt.... seems like it might have been a publicity stunt or college prank.

For real! NOT funny to anyone, especially the already inconvenienced travelers whose flight got delayed from publicity art.

(Or, a wicked, selfish but brilliant marketing attempt at self promotion by negative press. Still, just wrong).

Indeed, every news outlet is now referring to the thing as a "fake bomb," and Simpson has been charged with possessing a "hoax device."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2007/09/21/star_simpson/index.html"><P>
 Simpson describes herself this way on the Web: </P><DIV class="blockquote"> In a sentence, I'm an inventor, artist, engineer, and student, I love to build things and I love crazy ideas. 
<P>
 In a paragraph; I'm currently studying computers and how they work at MIT. I play at a student-run machine shop called MITERS. Before that, I lived for a long time in Hawaii, while traveling the world and saving the planet from evil villains with my delivered-just-in-time gadgets.</P></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2007/09/21/star_simpson/index.html">
 WBZ-TV has posted <A href="http://wbztv.com/topstories/local_story_264104114.html" target="_blank">a video</A> of Simpson being arraigned this morning. The student looks in good spirits despite what must have been a nightmare of a morning. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9788D9F7-6007-44D3-A37A-3D85F899E8D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
