BOSTON -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology student arrested at Logan Airport Friday accused of carrying a fake bomb, described herself as someone who loves "crazy ideas" and has been "traveling the world and saving the planet from evil villains (sic) with my delivered-just-in-time gadgets."

On her MIT Web site, Star Simpson wrote "I'm an inventor, artist, engineer, and student, I love to build things and I love crazy ideas."

Simpson, a native of Lahaina, Hawaii, said she is currently studying computers and how they work. For play, she wrote that she works at a student-run machine shop at the MIT Electronic Research Society.

Simpson's lawyer said his client is the secretary of the MIT club.

She is a graduate of the Hawaii Preparatory Academy, a private boarding school, and received a Congressional citation for her work in robotics.

Her Web site has pictures of Simpson in the Wrightspeed X1, a high performance electric car.

According to MIT's Web site, Simpson is a member of the school's swimming and diving team.
