How would you know what he claims without detaining him? You are bending over backwards to prove why they were wrong to detain him, but the truth is, thats exactly what they should do every time they see something that looks like a "hoax bomb". To say otherwise is just argumentative nonsense.Looks like a possible hoax bomb to me. If i had been in their shoes, i would have detained and questioned him about it, since hoax bombs are illegal.

A "hoax bomb" would be something you describe as a 'bomb', but isn't.
That's not what we have here. Achmed never claimed to have a bomb.
Because they already knew--- right there in the school, before there were any cops involved -- that it was a clock and not a bomb.
...but did they know if it was a "HOAX BOMB"? No, of course they didnt. They had no idea if he was up to something. Thats what the cops are for. Why are you arguing this point?
It isn't a point. They DID know it wasn't a hoax bomb. A hoax bomb would be when you bring in a case with nothing special in it, somebody asks you "what's in the case?" and you falsely tell them, "a bomb". None of that happened.
That's why a "hoax bomb" charge is bullshit, and that's also why they carted him off to (what appears to be a completely illegal) interrogation -- to intimidate him into saying it was. Because without that claim, there is no hoax, and ergo there cannot be a legitimate charge.
Get it now?
