I don't think the cops or the teachers were being stupid, that was a real bomb or in some way a genuinely harmful device I don't think you could argue they did anything wrong. The kid lost a few hours of his time while the school tried to do the right thing the wrong way.

Yes they were. Even the local inbred uneducated hick can see that it does not at all look like a bomb. Don't have to be a electronics expert to know that electronics can not make the air explode, you need some explosives. So they WERE idiots.

Yeah except he was arrested not because they thought it was a bomb but because they thought he intended to create a bomb hoax using his Frankenstein clock but was released after it became clear he never intended to do that. I'm leaning on the side of the kid being an idiot in an environment that doesn't really tolerate allowing kids to be idiots from time to time but sweet fuck all happened to him, he was arrested yeah so what? Its not like this shit went to trial.
