MIT Student Arrested with "Fake Bomb"

BoingBoing's got a ton of info: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/21/mit-student-arrested.ht...

Ultimately, there are two lessons learned here. The first is that Boston Police are overreacting to these LED deals. Fewer small lights, please! The second is that what happens at MIT should stay at MIT. That sweater wouldn't get a second look from most people on campus.

edit: There's a big difference between a "fake bomb" and "device that looked slightly bomb-ish."
