Harvard Grad Student Challenged on Subway for Looking Suspicious

[kalibex]

It's not terribly verifiable at the moment, as the student subsequently set her facebook account (where the incident was initially reported) on friends-only. She has reportedly notified the MBTA transit police.

Zahra Bhaiwala, who is studying health economics at the Harvard School of Public Health, reports she was on her way from class to work on the Green Line today when the trolley entered Copley and some guy she says had been eyeing her since Longwood started yelling that she had a bomb in the black bag she was carrying:

"Copley is next! That’s the best place for them to do an attack!” Followed by “Women are doing it too now, don’t you see the news?”

4 or 5 angry men had now gathered around me and I showed them my Harvard and Genzyme IDs and opened up the bag to show them my computers. They nodded their heads and backed away slowly. No one in the car said anything to the man, who refused to come with me to the MBTA office and also refused to apologize. None of the 5 men apologized either, which is more upsetting.

So many Authoritarian Followers. Scared Authoritarian Followers. :/
