A Boston University film student’s beat-up car prompted a bomb scare Monday at Boston’s Logan International Airport. “I’m just a random college student who left his car at the economy lot,” said Lawrence “Alex” Reed. Reed, who lives in Los Angeles, said he got early-morning calls from his mother and sister after police contacted them at home about his vehicle. He said police may have been suspicious of his 2004 Grand Marquis due to a broken window, a wire running into the vehicle to power the cigarette lighter, Oklahoma license plate, damage to the rear from a collision with a semi truck and other less-than-mint-condition features. Reed, who parked the car in the lot on August 6th, didn’t have a parking ticket because the machine was broken. “My car is a piece of junk,” he admits. The bomb squad used a pair of robots to search the vehicle and blasted open the trunk with a water cannon. Several streets and a nearby elderly housing complex were evacuated prior to the search.
