Why the hell else would someone disassemble a clock and, of all the alternative housings available, decide to put it into a briefcase if not for the purpose of making it look like a movie bomb?

Edit: I've also seen the school & police are on one hand being mocked for thinking it was a real bomb while on the other being criticized for not acting like it was. Once I saw the goddamned thing, their actions made total sense. They knew it was fake but also knew it was created to look scary.

Neither of those pictures are a bomb. One is the clock Ahmed made and the other one is a mobile button panel for a unix mainframe. (see the novell tag, that should be enough. And why would they have a solid button panel on a briefcase bomb? And there is no explosives in either of the pictures.)

Briefcase bombs have explosives in them, a bunch of electronics won't make anything go boom.

Isn't that the point, make sure there isn't explosives there and correct any behavior discreetly from there.

I think this whole topic has become a meta discussion for how you personally feel about Islam.

Because he was an excited fourteen year old kid who wanted to show off how smart he was. This was not the first thing he had shown off.

If you want to consider him as a kid who is starting shit then you can. I can believe he is could be an enthuastic, possibly socially akward geek who didn't think his invention out. [Edit] And you are using a jpg making this a political thing about religion?

No one who has a logical rational thought in their head would believe that this kid is smart for putting the internals of a clock into a suitcase to make it look like a clock; everyone knows thats BS! It was made to look like a bomb. End of story. We have 100's upon 1000's of movies that predicate as such that if you see a clock and a suitcase together it's a bomb. Someone, if not the kid, may have coached this kid into building it this way to suit a narrative or agenda

He was a fourteen year-old kid who wanted to show everyone how smart he was by taking apart a clock and shoving it in a briefcase so the other kids would think he had made a bomb. (It wasn't a fucking invention of any kind!)

And I'm not the one making it a "political thing", you ignorant jackwad, that's the doing all of the people losing their shit over this story because a "brown" kid actually got in trouble for acting like an idiot.

God you're fucking dumb. Why would you key a bomb like that? Why would it even need a fucking motherboard? What the fuck would it possibly be computing? It has a goddamed cooling fan for fucksake!!! COMMON SENSE MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU HAVE IT.
