stasterisk - my name is Star, and when I was 13 I signed my name as "St*r", with the * a five pointed star with the "A" a bit bolder.

I think I once shortened it to "ST*" and my best friend glanced over and said "ST*?" "How am I even supposed to pronounce that, 'st-asterisk'?"

hence stasterisk!

Sorry to hear about the airport fiasco. I was on your side of the argument as soon as I read about it in MAKE:

Terror, terror, terror, fear, fear, fear. I'm so sorry you've gotten caught up in this B.S. I'm a broke musician, but I'll contribute to a legal defense fund if one is needed and established. Let me know if I can help. MarkALynch (at) Gmail (dot) com

I just don't see it. Have you seen the photo of the "device"? In no way, does it resemble a bomb. Play-doh or not, in my view, the only way what she was wearing could be considered threatening is if you had a vivid imagination and were predisposed to see the worst. I guess I'm somewhat sympathetic to the initial airport employee at the information booth, who started the brouhaha, but after she was detained, and after closer inspection, it makes no sense to pursue this. I think it is a misunderstanding that is understanable in this age of fear. Star should not suffer due the Bush administration's attempt to create a culture of fear in order to keep the sheep in line and make themselves more relavent.

Well the reason this whole fiasco started was probably because the person didn't know squat about electronics. But other people have their own hobbies.
