Have you ever seen a briefcase? A briefcase doesn't fit in the palm of an adults hand, and a 'movie bomb' has at least some semblance of an explosive.
They should be. If you're in law enforcement, you need to be able to tell the difference between an explosive and some wires, a transistor and a circuit board. The teacher's should be fired for not immediately contacting the child's parents.

Context matters. My statement was a summation of what others are claiming the police thought. They clearly didn't think it was a bomb, which is why they charged the guy with basically being an idiot and trying to scare people.
