The object is a rather large electronic circuit board which could be applicable to any of thousands of uses but because of its size would be utterly impractical in any explosives application. It's simply too big.Here's the thing. If a teacher found this device, and didn't reprort it, and then it was a bomb, lots of kids would have died.
It is stupid and idiotic to take take the kid's side on this.
If he's smart enough to build a clock that looks like a bomb, he is smart enough to know what would happen.
The net result is bad. People will now be afraid to report a suspicious device or package.
More people will die.

What if the teacher had found a cheap pocket watch on the kid. Do you think that would be cause for similar concern?
But that is the thing. That is one big circuit board. Too big for a simple clock. And from the picture there are two circuit boards and three ribbon cables. When the police questioned him supposedly the only thing he would say about it was it was a clock.The object is a rather large electronic circuit board which could be applicable to any of thousands of uses but because of its size would be utterly impractical in any explosives application.

What sophistry. This incident is not a racist one - it is the insane PC Zero Tolerance Crap combined with ignorant School Bureaucrats and Unionized Teachers.
Big Government is the problem, not racism.
"I Thought I Was Going To Be Another Victim Of Injustice"
"I felt like I was a criminal, I felt like I was a terrorist," Ahmed Mohamed told Hayes. "Like all the names I've been called." In middle school, the MacArthur High School freshman said he was called "a terrorist, a bomb maker, just because of my religion and my race."So:
...
"I feel really well after. Before, I thought I wasn’t going to get any support because I’m a Muslim boy," he said. "I thought I was going to be another victim of injustice."

"I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her," Ahmed told reporters Wednesday. "It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it."

That's true, we've had cases of kids sent home because they pointed a finger like a gun.

It's insane. Kids are suspended for the type of play that generations before them engaged in. Public school is child abuse.
I think you missed my point. If you are feeling like you a being called a bomb-making terrorist you don't make someone a clock to prove them wrong. Especially not one that looks like this. (My estimate of what it would have looked like coming out of the backpack. I did not add the electrical plug hanging out but that might have been in the case at the time anyway.

It is not overblown in the least. The kid tried to intimidate his english teacher with a hoax bomb. Now Obama is having him over for tea.

That is a lie. The kid brought it to show his science teacher and did not call it a bomb. He claimed from the beginning that it was a clock.
The same thing may be said about any number of items aside from the circuit board shown in the photograph -- which has absolutely no similarity to an explosive device. Even if it occurred to the teacher and the police that the circuit board might be a timing device the size of that board is at least ten times larger and more populated with components than a simple timing circuit would be.Here's the thing. If a teacher found this device, and didn't reprort it, and then it was a bomb, lots of kids would have died.
Standing in opposition to an embarrassing display of offensively aggressive ignorance and absurd over-reaction is not taking the kid's side. It is protesting an example of senselessly paranoid over-reaction to an essentially dumb presumption.It is stupid and idiotic to take take the kid's side on this.
Are you saying the circuit board shown in the topic photo looks like a bomb to you?If he's smart enough to build a clock that looks like a bomb, he is smart enough to know what would happen.
If you believe this example to be a criterion for suspicion there is no limit to the objects which might be mistaken for bombs or parts of bombs. E.g., if you would stand outside any store that sells lawn-care supplies you will see several people leaving with 50 pound sacks of ammonium nitrate, which is a very effective fertilizer -- as well as the primary component of the same explosive compound Timothy McVeigh used in the infamous Oklahoma City bombing.The net result is bad. People will now be afraid to report a suspicious device or package.
Ignorant, paranoid over-reaction will not prevent that. Competent, well-informed awareness will.More people will die.
Why?None of this matters, don't you get it. Only the science teacher is going to know it's not a bomb. He fucked up because he let the kid keep it. He should have taken it.
How many things can you think of which quite possibly could be bombs?Don't blame people who can't tell the difference between a clock and a bomb. If you don't know what it is, you err on the side of caution.
