Star Simpson recently attempted to go through security at Boston's Logan Airport with a homemade contraption strapped to her chest that looks, you know, nothing like a bomb. Except for the lights, and the wires and the putty. And surprise, surprise, Logan's security pulled her aside and Simpson was arrested, thus keeping the rest of the world safe from flaky girls who can't wait for their fifteen minutes of fame.
Much has been made of the Logan guards over-reacting, and I'm not denying their behavior was over-the-top. This crazy device attached to her shirt is hardly plutonium.
But I'm not buying that this contraption was some kind of project Simpson was working on for school, or a personal foray into the world of "art", either.
Look, when a girl goes by the name of "Star" and posts on her own blog that she enjoys "saving the world from evil villains" and has "crazy ideas," she certainly sounds like the type of flaky girl who is capable of pulling a crazy stunt merely for attention.
And when you factor in that Ms. Simpson is a student in good standing in the computer science program at the hallowed halls of MIT, it's hard to believe she is so clueless that she really had no idea a stunt like this could get her arrested.
Please, Flaky Simpson girl, don't waste our time with this ridiculous attention-whore behavior. We need our security guards and policeman for real crisis situations, like tasering guys at Kerry speeches.
If you really want our attention, do it the old-fashioned way: become a party girl, dump some deadbeat wannabe, flash your crotch at photographers and head for an over-night in rehab.
