I sure hope Clockmed's 15 minutes are up. In his eyes, that's probably the worst thing EVER.

So this kid travels to a terrorist state to meet with the President? That's just bizarre.

This kid is eating up the attention. His family is milking it for every freebie they can get.

What the kid proved was that someone could build a major component for a bomb, make it look like a bomb and then create angst that no one will ever again question his motives.

Now all we need do it wait until the next kid makes the whole bomb and sets it off. Then everyone will ask how such a thing could happen and why the teachers and police didn't prevent it.

If I was a kid- I would look for love -even if all the wrong places- maybe going to his own kind- he will feel loved- validated he is a KID
This is the same reason we have 12 yr old gang members -NO love at home or community

Cue the violins.

The kid lied and said that he made a clock from scratch. Then he was determined to flaunt it to everybody he came across when at school. To make matters worse, he brought it in a metal case. He knew darn well that it looked like a bomb component. Also, it was proved that he was NOT technical savvy.

Go with his own kind? That's why he went to Sudan and met with a terrorist? I guess that you are saying that "his own kind" are terrorists.
