NEW YORK, Oct 13, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Two New York art students who put fake bombs in subway stations for a project face criminal charges.

Robert Barrett and Jamie Davis attend Pratt Art Institute in Brooklyn. On Sept. 28 they allegedly put duffel bags or backpacks in five stations. All carried the Metropolitan Transit Authority security tag line "If you see something, say something."

Both students have been charged with placing false bomb devices, the New York Post reported. There's no word on how Pratt liked the prank.
