So are their wristwatches. Throw the whole group in Gitmo.

Even if they don't wear wristwatches, jail 'em anyway. They all have cell phones. Those make even better triggers.

Microsoft is not helping matters by giving the kid even more electronic equipment:

Here’s what Microsoft gave the teenager who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school

On a related note, not a fan of Trump but if Trump were anti-muslim (or anti-arab or racist), won't he have supported invasion of Iraq based on bogus claims?

Clock looked like a kit to me. Somebody had to produce that printed circuit board and I doubt it was a kid.

If that clock can be considered to be "part of a bomb" then of course they must also consider a cell phone as being "part of a bomb", as I understand they were used to trigger IED's too.

 

[erowe1]

But Center for Security Policy vice president Jim Hanson argued on his organization’s podcast that the clock “looks exactly like a number of IED triggers that were produced by the Iranians and used to kill U.S. troops in the war in Iraq.” He said the clock “was half a bomb.”

Might that be because for trigger devices on IEDs they sometimes use clocks?

Explains why cops are shooting people that brandish cell phones.

If you are Wile E. Coyote, that's very true.

Cell phones are much more likely to be used as triggers these days. Ban phones.

The Real Story of #IStandWithAhmed
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/18/real-story-istandwithahmed/

Ahmed brought a clock-in-a-case that looked like a hoax bomb to the uninformed school; his engineering teacher told him not to show it around; he showed it around; the police showed up, and he was allegedly uncooperative; they decided he was innocent and released him.

Ahmed’s father, as Pamela Geller points out, is an anti-Islamophobia media gadfly. He routinely returns to Sudan to run for president; he has debated anti-Koran Florida pastor Terry Jones, partially in order to bring his children to Disneyworld.

Nobody said Mohammed built an actual bomb. They suspected that he had wanted to frighten or alarm officials with a hoax-bomb. When they found out he didn’t intend to do that, they released him.

Given the limited evidence available, this is not far-fetched. Again, where was the engineering teacher to vouch for Mohammed’s story? Why didn’t Mohammed simply explain himself? The police said that initially, it was “not immediately evident” that the clock-in-a-case was a class experiment – perfectly plausible, given that Mohammed built the clock-in-a-case voluntarily, without assignment, and in conjunction with no science fair.

He said he took it to school on Monday to show an engineering teacher, who said it was nice but then told him he should not show the invention to other teachers. Later, Ahmed’s clock beeped during an English class, and after he revealed the device to the teacher, school officials notified the police, and Ahmed was interrogated by officers.

Why was the device in English class in the first place, especially after the engineering teacher told him not to show it around? When confronted by police and his English teacher, why didn’t Mohammed just tell them to talk to the engineering teacher? When police asked Ahmed what the device was and why he brought it to school, according to WFAA:

Officers said Ahmed was being “passive aggressive” in his answers to their questions, and didn’t have a “reasonable answer” as to what he was doing with the case. Investigators said the student told them that it was just a clock that he was messing around with. “We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only say it was a clock. He didn’t offer any explanation as to what it was for, why he created this device, why he brought it to school,” said James McLellan, Irving Police.

Chief Larry Boyd said simply and correctly, “You can’t take things like that to school” without explanation or assignment in today’s world without it receiving scrutiny.

WHEW! I'm glad the cops cleared all that up!

The kid brought a device that looked like a bomb to the uninformed, was not part of any assignment, had not previously brought in projects to school, was told not to show it, did it anyway, device went off in class and the kid was uncooperative when questioned. The police did their job, determined it was harmless and took no action.

There is no issue here other than the Islamic activist father using his son to make some headlines and Progressive clowns like you falling for it or condoning it as part of your agenda.

I don't worship the cops like you do and you claim that is progressive huh? Still delusional as usual....

My progressive agenda to is worship the cops like you do?

I do not worship cops, that is a stretch. I have been pretty vocal in these forums against police abuse and it was only a few hours ago I called out Walker for his comments about police.

Ahmed Mohamed Lied, Engineer Says, And Here's The Proof
http://www.inquisitr.com/2431102/ahmed-mohamed-lied-engineer-says-and-heres-the-proof/

Blogger “Anthony” of ArtVoice found a very similar-looking clock being sold on eBay. He explained further in the following passage.

“I found the highest resolution photograph of the clock I could [pictured above]. Instantly, I was disappointed. Somewhere in all of this — there has indeed been a hoax. Ahmed Mohamed didn’t invent his own alarm clock. He didn’t even build a clock…. For starters, one glance at the printed circuit board in the photo, and I knew we were looking at mid-to-late 1970s vintage electronics. Surely you’ve seen a modern circuit board, with metallic traces leading all over to the various components like an electronic spider’s web. You’ll notice right away the highly accurate spacing, straightness of the lines, consistency of the patterns. That’s because we design things on computers nowadays, and computers assist in routing these lines. Take a look at the board in Ahmed’s clock. It almost looks hand-drawn, right? That’s because it probably was. Computer aided design was in its infancy in the 70s. This is how simple, low cost items (like an alarm clock) were designed. Today, even a budding beginner is going to get some computer aided assistance – in fact they’ll probably start there, learning by simulating designs before building them. You can even simulate or lay out a board with free apps on your phone or tablet. A modern hobbyist usually wouldn’t be bothered with the outdated design techniques. There’s also silk screening on the board. An ‘M’ logo, ‘C-94’ (probably, a part number — C might even stand for ‘clock’), and what looks like an American flag…. a hobbyist wouldn’t silk screen logos and part numbers on their home made creation. It’s pretty safe to say already we’re looking at ’70s tech, mass produced in a factory.”

Also, as if that wasn’t “proof” enough that Ahmed Mohamed lied, the engineering blogger notes, this eBay listing shows that “Amhed’s clock was invented, and built, by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidary. Catalog number 63 756.”

The engineer-blogger believes that what “might” have happened is Ahmed Mohamed, wanting to play a “silly prank” on his teacher, knew exactly how the clock would be perceived.

But what started as a silly prank became a rallying cry for agenda-driven media and self-righteous social media users looking for the latest thing to be outraged about.

That story is mostly BS- and with Pamela Geller adding her 2 cents in, anyone with 1/2 a brain knows it's gonna be anti-muslim.

The kid brought it to school.
Showed his engineering teacher.
Teacher told him to not show it around.
Kid put the PENCIL BOX containing his clock, in his book bag.
The alarm went off in English class.
The teacher kept it.
And then - see something, say something.

This is a 14 yr old kid, for pity sake- next time you are arrested, handcuffed, and scared out of your mind with police threats, let's see how "cooperative" YOU are- especially when the cops are trying to make you confess.

Maybe the kid didn't have time to put it in a locker between classes. Some schools only give kids three minutes to get from point a to point b.

If the school legitimately thought it was a bomb, they would have evacuated and called the bomb squad. "Part of a bomb" is ludicrous, a wristwatch, clock or cell phone could fall under that definition.

The kid could have told them to talk to the engineering teacher if that was not a lie and the teacher was covering for him after the fact. This was either a prank to scare the crap out of everyone that he actually had a bomb or the anti-Islamaphobe activist father put him up to it.

If it was the kids intention to scare the crap out of everyone like he actually had a bomb as a prank then he had it coming to have a little scare back.

If the kid didn't have a Muslim sounding name amd his wristwatch happened to go off in class, would he deserve a secret interrogation as well?

How many children do you believe deserving of secret police interrogations?

Wristwatch????? We are not talking about a wrist watch but a device that looked like a bomb. Have you even bothered to look at the posts and articles posted here.

Regardless this whole thing is a scam.

btw - I have no problem with profiling or interrogating Muslim students that bring in devices that look like a bomb. It is not unusual for Islamic terrorist groups to recruit and use children for bomb attacks.
