The Boston Police continue their hard work to protect us from light boards and nine-volt batteries

At least, that's what it looks like from just reading the headline. But it's different this time - at first it wasn't clear whether it was genuinely a "fake bomb" (which I'm aware makes no sense), or a "fake bomb" in the same way as the Mooninites were, i.e. "something entirely un-bomb-like that we thought was a bomb anyway". It's difficult to say whether the reaction was reasonable or not without seeing the "device" (remember that word from last time?) itself and seeing whether it looked suspicious or not. But it later mentions in that article that she had refused to talk about it when questioned at first, and that's all I would need to conclude that it wasn't exactly MIT-standard behaviour.

Let's be totally fair. Most people would have enough sense not to visit an airport while wearing something of that description. If you do, you're stupid. It's difficult enough going through one while looking a bit foreign. Bloody Americans. Etc.
