MIT geek nearly shot by airport police for wearing 9V & LEDs

Ok, no video on the intertubes yet, but here's a video on ABC (no embedable thingy) http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3635359


ZOMG!! MOONITES ATTACK AGAIN

Fear the 11 LEDs and wires!! We are all going to die!.

I cannot believe a girl named Star wears a (crappily made) star shaped LED attached to the outside of her sweatshirt and nearly gets blown away by cops with submachine guns while standing outside Boston Logan.

How first-year engineering do you have to be to use one of those proto-boards instead of, say, soldering the few LEDs together.

What is ironic is that almost every single person walking in the airport that day had more complicated electronics with LEDs and batteries, but they just don't know it. And they are packaged in pretty plastic molded cases, like laptops, cellphones, pagers, watches, PDAs, etc.
