I am not Muslim and neither is anyone in my family. Just the same, I would NOT allow my teen to bring something like this to his high school!! He would definitely get in trouble, and I wouldn't be surprised if the police were called. "Zero tolerance" rules in our school district got him in trouble for using his finger like a gun once, in elementary school. Times have certainly changed!
Great if you love supposition and conjecture, especially when the supposition and conjecture confirms your preconceived conclusions.
Do you have any particular points from the engineer's article that you'd like to address? That would be far more valuable to this conversation than the rude statement you made about me.
They just followed protocol, if it has wires and goes tick-tock it must be a bomb.

A lot has been made about the bomb squad not responding.. no one here knows who really responded and what was said...
As such..
And is typical with CD posts on any actions involving others... half baked.. part information.. drivel
Protocol would have been to evacuate the school. The evacuate schools when someone calls in a bomb threat even when no device has been seen.

If "muslims" dont like how they get treated here then why not go to some muslim country in the middle east where they wont be scrutinized for carrying a metal briefcase with wires hanging out.
The 2 most ignorant posts I've read on CD in a long time. Are you proud to be racist bigots? What makes you think the color of your skin or the god you pray to give you any more of a right to be here than Muslims? If you don't like the American melting pot, maybe you should go live in some European country were your taxes support the national church, whether it is the one you go to or not.
Probably because someone found out later that it wasn't a bomb, or it could've been a very cruel joke. Anyone with some common sense who knows for sure it was a bomb, or thinks it was a bomb, would've evacuated in full speed to save their own lives, and/or called the police.
If they waited until later to find out whether it was an actual bomb...or a ****ing science project...they are even more stupid than I thought.
They didn't evacuate the school when they suspended that kid for the pop tart gun either. I bet nobody ever even thought it was a real gun!
Like someone already said...there is protocol to be followed on these types of things. Device that looks like a bomb...you get the police involved. Pop tart that looks like a gun, kid gets suspended. In both cases it was an overreaction. In neither case did anyone really think they were dealing with a weapon...or at least not for long. I've never been a fan of the zero tolerance type of rule enforcement that doesn't allow for common sense and rational judgment. But hey at least the kid gets to go to the White House. Pop tart gun boy didn't get that.
Do you know how many household items are used in making homemade bombs?
If schools overreact when a kid eats his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun or a kid poinits his finger at someone (even without saying, "Bang") they damn well better do something when a kid brings a device to school that looks similar to a bomb. The school did the right thing. The ONLY reason this is being hyped as a phony phobia of some kind is because the kid is Muslim. The midia and Obama never pass up a chance to play the "Phobia Card".
Where is the photo of the clock? I saw it. Does NOT look like a bomb!
What would happen if this kid walked through the airport with something like this? Or as someone mentioned on C-D on another thread, what do you think would have happened if this class was on a field trip to the White House and this was found in the kid's backpack? Even with it not being a bomb, I think he still would have been questioned for hours without his parents, especially at the White House.
Why would he have a science project in his bookbag on the day of a field trip?
Great if you love supposition and conjecture, especially when the supposition and conjecture confirms your preconceived conclusions.
LOL!
The kid claimed he invented a clock. Clearly, he did not. He disassembled one that was working and placed it in a briefcase. That's not supposition and conjecture; that's what happened.

There was absolutely nothing rude about my comment, based upon the tenor of the conversation which considering the highly speculative nature of the comments, ascribing all sorts of nefarious motives not only to a 14 year old kid but his parents as well. I quoted your comment simply as a point of reference.
