Read full article: Engineering grad's electronic cap decoration almost caused bomb scareWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. - A computer engineering graduate got his diploma and one heck of a story because the DIY electronic decoration on his graduation cap looked a bit like a bomb. Can Cevik told CNN that police stopped him on Monday evening at a security entrance as he was walking into Florida International University's graduation ceremony. Cevik said that he made the decoration last month for fun from about $20 worth of parts he'd bought from Amazon. "I just threw it all together and then I sort of forgot about it until the day of graduation and then I taped it on my graduation cap and went to graduation," he said. Cevik got his hat back, but Moss said bomb technicians took apart the Arduino device as a precaution.
