There's a Boston College student named Joe Previtera. On May 26, 2004, he and four friends were protesting in front of the Armed Forces Recruitment Center in Boston. Mr. Previtera dressed up as an Abu Ghraid prisoner, black shawl, pointed black hood, wires hanging from his fingers and all. All five were arrested, and Mr. Previtera was charged with disturbing the peace, false report of location of explosives and a hoax device. The first offense is a misdemeanor, the latter two, felonies.
Apparently, the wires from his fingers were stuck into the milk crate that he was standing on, and the police assumed it was a bomb. So they charged him with basically a bomb threat.
