A while back there was a bomb scare in Boston. This was no regular bomb scare. This was an alien invasion. Dozens of signs appeared around the city overnight, all bearing images of popular cartoon aliens giving the finger. This rebellious stunt on behalf of the advertising agency who represented said cartoon character was issued and, by those savvy, taken in jest. However, for some reason, the Boston Police Department interpreted this technology whose technical sophistication level hovered around "billboard" as a massive bomb attack on the city. The signs were diffused within the day and Cartoon Network was fined for its attempt to disturb the public peace. A few months later, those terrorists known as "the young" struck again. This time it was a college student. A Computer Sciences major had made a shirt for class. She adorned it with the pun "socket to me" and a motherboard. The motherboard had blinking lights on it. Again, because we live in 1800, anything that displays technology discovered as late as 1900 is dead dangerous. Those blinking lights were interpreted as an attempt to subvert peace, and the student was arrested. Throughout Weird Science there's this idea of false deduction. Revelations in science make possible feats previously thought unimaginable. When the uninitiated see these feats, they try to force them into a scheme they understand. In both bomb scares above the present law enforcement didn't have any mental category for an individual who could manipulate mundane electronics outside of terrorists. They responded accordingly. This video offers the only explanation I could find for a thinking police force to make the arrests that happened in Boston in 2007. If it wasn't actually used for training, I can only assume that something very similar was.
