Police Confiscate Mindstorms

Nicolas Nova reports on Pasta and Vinegar that a friend of his was stopped by the police - for playing with Lego Mindstorms!

Apparently the incident happened on a train and a quick witted, well trained, highly intelligent police officer identified Mindstorms as a potential terrorist device.

The unlucky hobbyist was detained and questioned. He was eventually released but had to pay a 50 Euro fine and the police kept the Mindstorms stuff!
