The 11th International Symposium on Wearable Computers was held in Boston last week.
Ironically, on the registration page, they recommend "not traveling with technology that is out of the ordinary" - and point to this security incident at Boston airport.
The MIT Student was arrested at gun point for wearing a sweatshirt that had a circuit board affixed to the front with green LED lights and wires running to a 9-volt battery.
Wearable computers and airport security probably will not go well together for the foreseeable future.
