Teh Stupid -- It Burns

MIT student arrested for entering Boston airport with "fake bomb" light-up T-shirt - Boing Boing

Short version: it wasn't a "fake bomb" at all, it was a wearable tech jacket on the body of a friendly young technologist who would have been *way* better off wearing something else to the airport today. Authorities in Massachussetts who've been accused of overreacting to tech art misunderstandings before -- remember the Mooninite Menace? -- are throwing the book at her.

... She wasn't even getting on a plane -- just picking up a friend.
