Oops! Art has a bad day.
An MIT sophomore learned the hard way when she walked into an airport with a circuit board and battery sewn to her shirt. Yup, that got some people’s attention and the situation went sour fast. Officials were not amused!
But the officials were not amused. The student, Star A. Simpson, 19, is “very lucky to be alive,” said Maj. Scott S. Pare of the state police, commanding officer of the airport’s security contingent. “Had she not followed our instructions” when confronted by state troopers, “we would have used deadly force,” Major Pare said.
When an employee asked what was on her shirt, she said nothing and walked away. Yup, wtf, just answer. But I guess people just can’t express themselves any more
