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

As in to get sympathy for Muslims? Because a 14 year old nerd arrested in a NASA t-shirt proud of his 'hacked' clock will do that regardless of his race/religion.
Or am I missing the point?

As in find a reason to sue a school/police for money, it's usually about money. It's all to convenient. And at 14, a gutted clock is lame and child's play, at 14 most in my grade were soldering pcb's with components making 28.8 baud modems. A clock in a new "case" isn't "geek" at all.
