Yeah. Desn't look like a bomb at all.

And this part:
Quote:
A sophomore at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was surrounded by troopers carrying submachine guns and arrested after showing up at Boston's Logan Airport wearing a phony bomb, made partly from Play-Doh, strapped to her chest.
wasn't even true. The Play-Doh was not part of it.

I don't think the cops did anything wrong- she should have snswered immediately when a cop asked her what it was- but charging her with a "hoax device" is just as silly as when they did it to the Mooninite guys.

How can something that doesn't actually look like a bomb, and was never described by the "hoaxer" as a bomb, be a bomb hoax?
