It appears the rationale for the pants-wetting overreaction is that Ahmed actually planned for the pants-wetting overreaction, am I reading that correctly? Seems that could have been avoided pretty easily.
Yes....we really do need to grow up and quit wetting our pants.
See the link to Ahmed’s clock half way down the page...
When questioned by police, Mohamed was rude, disrespectful, and - most importantly - failed to tell police about the device or if any other such devices were in the school. The police asked reasonable questions and Mohamed's attitude gave them more, not less, concern. When police told Mohamed about the seriousness of the situation, he taunted them and continued to evade questioning. So police arrested him in accordance with set policy which treats all suspects over the age of 12 in a similar manner
Won't be long until some little brown kid brings another clock to school, no one does anything for fear of being labeled a racist muslimophobe (I made that up)..............and BOOOOOOOOM.

He was arrested for making an object that resembled a bomb, thus creating a hoax. The picture of him in handcuffs was taken by his sister, when his father made the cops leave him in handcuffs so they could get the picture.
Just as schools were not evacuated when the remains of a kid's Pop Tart became a toy gun.

Is it the school or Ahmed who could have avoided this?
Are pop tart guns, drawings of guns or hand gestures an overreaction or could be avoided? Non of these items have wires.
I am of the opinion that the whole thing is a scam put on by Ahmed's father and his sister. I doubt this 14 year old kid, took apart a clock, bought a new briefcase, then decided to set the clock inside the briefcase. Just cause. Also how did the parents not notice the thing when they were taking their son to school?
