decide to put it into a briefcase if not for the purpose of making it look like a movie bomb?

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.

police are on one hand being mocked for thinking it was a real bomb

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.
