I'm seeing that most people believe that this could have been a bomb (perceived). I watched Bill Mahar (I know, but I've Been watching him since he was on Comedy Central) and he did a segment that could have been in GD. Mahar said that the kid was dumb and the school didn't overreact given the decades of terror attacks by Muslims that have occurred around the world, and that a 14 y/o is of age for martyrdom is certain societies.
Mark Cuban was a guest and said he got to ask him (clock kid) questions. He stated he discussed science and such and the kid was very engaged. But, When it got to the clock he heard someone whisper (female voice) in to tell him what to say and the kid became disengaged. He called it "odd." Garland, TX is roughly 25 miles away where an actual terror attack occured, so maybe you can understand the alarm. |

Asshole student should face expulsion.
By loosely placing electrical components in a metallic container, the only thing that kid "invented" is a fire / electrocution hazard which could have jeopardized people's lives in the school. He defied orders from his engineering teacher and took it once step further to achieve full retard status when he plugged it into a wall socket. If that's not grounds for suspension/expulsion then someone should plant a gun shaped pop-tart in his schoolbag. |

A dummy ordinance is a law such as the one used to arrest this kid. Though, frankly, it isn't really the ordinance that is to blame. It seems to make sense. Alas, as with most laws, the spirit and intent under which they are passed can be readily abused by subsequent enforcers. This kid did not pretend to have a bomb, call in a bomb threat, or any such nonsense. He said he had a clock. And, well, he had a clock. Was it deliberate trolling? It doesn't matter. Trolling to show the idiocy of a regime is a time honored art. Witness, for example, those who blatantly open carry in areas where it is not so common. Witness also how quickly gun rights activists come to their legal defense should they be arrested by ignorant cops. Even if the act were deliberate trolling, it does not justify the response. Was the English teacher right to think the item was suspicious? Sure. But, at what point do the authorities see a clock as a clock and call it a day? Why the doubling down on derp? |

He was detained by police for a suspicious device and refused to answer questions about it. This was a PR stunt according to the media. But the device made a sound in an English class, prompting Ahmed to show that teacher the source of the noise. The teacher commented that it looked like a bomb. The officers assigned to the school were called, and Ahmed was handcuffed, questioned by the police and eventually released to his parents.
The Irving Police Department has said that the case is closed and that no charges will be filed. |

When I was in high school I was on a robotics team. Two of the other students on the team had the brilliant idea to make a backpack/vest out of small metal pneumatic storage tanks which they could use to quickly recharge the air tanks on the robot at competition. By the time they were done it looked for all eh world like a suicide vest, which I suspect was part of the appeal.
Instead of evacuating the building and freaking the fuck out, the teacher who first saw them with it told them to knock it off because it looked like a bomb and they were being stupid and unsafe. That was it. Yes, this was post 9/11. I think this situation could have been handled similarly. |

The kid took apart an existing clock and put the electronics in a box.
http://blogs.artvoice.com/techvoice/2015/09/17/reverse-engineering-ahmed-mohameds-clock-and-ourselves/ So I turned to eBay, searching for vintage alarm clocks. It only took a minute to locate Ahmed’s clock. See this eBay listing, up at the time of this writing. Amhed’s clock was invented, and built, by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidary. Catalog number 63 756. The shape and design is a dead give away. The large screen. The buttons on the front laid out horizontally would have been on a separate board – a large snooze button, four control buttons, and two switches to turn the alarm on and off, and choose two brightness levels. A second board inside would have contained the actual “brains” of the unit. The clock features a 9v battery back-up, and a switch on the rear allows the owner to choose between 12 and 24 hour time. (Features like a battery back-up, and a 24 hour time selection seems awful superfluous for a hobby project, don’t you think?) Oh, and about that “M” logo on the circuit board mentioned above? Micronta. |

At some point later in the day it made noise or he decided to show it or something, and another teacher saw it and didn't recognize it for what it was. I don't think it could be characterized as an 'order'. |

Looking at the kid's clock, it's immediately apparent to me what I'm looking at. It's obviously a gutted clock radio.
Maybe... definitely...this is exemplary of the divide between those who are technologically adept versus technologically clueless. If you don't know how the stuff that makes your life go works, I suppose you might see a threat. I would not. Not even for a second. It is obviously not a bomb, it's a portablized clock/radio. It's a Rorschach test to differentiate the technologically adept from the technologically clueless. The current year is 2015. The inability to discern a gutted clock radio from a bomb speaks more to the technical ignorance of the adults involved than the wrongly imputed malice of the kid. There were a lot of adults who fucked up, in series to create this tempest. They are morons. Judgement: for the kid. |

Are some of you dolts really analyzing what some kid tinkering with electronics did? You're not impressed by something a 14 year old did? Did better in college? Lol. I built a radio like the one below when I was 8 or 9 years old. Mine looked much nicer though. The base had routered edges, all the wood was lacquered. I did ALL the work myself. If I can have my dad dig it out of the attic sometime, I'll post a picture of the one I built. So, no. I'm not impressed by a 14 year old taking apart an old clock and half assing it into a pencil case. My 6 year old could do a better job. http://www.bignick.net/Morgan_Radio/Morgan_Xtal/Morgan_Xtal_top.jpg They'd probably tase him and actually call the bomb squad if he brought that to school |
