I wish the following information would finally get circulated: the enclosure is not a briefcase, it's a pencil case. Look at the size of the electrical plug.

So it was smaller. If anything that makes it more reasonable because most bombs a 14 year old could theoretically make aren't going to have a suitcase sized amount of explosives. That size of bomb is still potentially fatal for everyone in the room.

What? I would think that a 14 year old wouldn't have the sophistication to make a mini-bomb and they would absolutely have to have something bigger because they wouldn't have the equipment to scale down.
Also, if they really thought it was a bomb, why didn't they evacuate the building? Why wasn't the bomb squad called?
