Career Day?

Art?  Maybe testing security.  Pure insanity.

An MIT student with a fake bomb strapped to her chest -- later claiming it was art -- was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport, officials said.

Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.

"She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day," Pare said at a news conference. "She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it."

Career day at the airport?  And who was she picking up?  I'd like to know some background on that individual.
