A pressure cooker is "essentially an IED awaiting the loading of explosives (initiator and explosive charge)."
“A pressure cooker is “essentially an IED awaiting the loading of explosives (initiator and explosive charge).””
Yes, it can be, and any student, Muslim or non-Muslim, who brings a pressure cooker to school without proper cause, prior notice, and safe inspection should be treated as a potential bomber in this day and age of global terrorism.
Furthermore, your inexcusable defense of Ahmed Mohammed and attempt to inappropriately trivialize the very real potential threat of his unarmed IED fails to acknowledge the device had no other credible purpose than to serve as a dummy IED. It certainly no longer qualified as a normal clock given the way in which it was disassembled and rearranged as a typical IED with the digital clock display hidden in a briefcase just like the briefcase IED constructed from the same type of Radio Shack Micronta alarm clock that was used to kill all the people aboard the Air India Flight. You have also failed to note how Ahmed Mohammed lied in his news media interviews, when he falsely claimed to have built a clock himself, not to mention his false statements about the events at the school.
