A 19-year-old female student was arrested at gunpoint at Boston airport on Friday after walking into the terminal with a fake bomb strapped to her chest, according to US media reports.
Star Simpson had a computer circuit board, wires and a putty that turned out to be play-dough in plain view over a black hooded sweatshirt she was wearing, CNN television reported. Simpson is a student at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to the report. US airports have been under a heightened state of security ever since the September 11 attacks six years ago.
