One man’s clock is another man’s bomb trigger.
Would his home computer stand up to an FBI looksie?
If this were 1971, I could see using parts this big to make a clock.
But this is 2015, and we have electronics now that we could only dream about back then.
This smells like a CAIR produced set-up.
Any kid who would take the area of a briefcase to make a clock today is really not all that bright.
Then to bring it school, ticking all over the place,takes a special kind of stupid.
It would have never made the press, had the kid been white.
He did not build a clock.
He put the internals of a clock in a briefcase like box and attached wires. This is very similar to a timer for a bomb.
This is is an attempt to support the false narrative of Muslims as victims.
And Obama is involved.
The more I think about this the more I get a bad feeling that this was a desensitizing trial run. The kid makes a 'clock' that deliberately gives an impression that is bomb-like to an average person. CAIR and the Islamo-WH are instantly on the case [cf. youtube video and Benghazi 'riots'] and make a huge fuss over how the kid was mistreated.
What might the goal be? What will be a school's reaction to the next kid who brings in such a 'clock' now that they've seen that the WH might come down on them? Well, we've imported tens of thousands of little Achmeds. What will be the reaction when they all show up with 'clocks'? What if even one of the clocks goes boom?
Maybe this kid will bring an IED I mean home made clock to the whitehouse with him. If it explodes then oops!
I guess Obama does not see the irony of him using school shootings to try and destroy the second Amendment and his honoring a kid that smuggled a triggering device into a school with a trip to the White House........
tick tock ping
how come a little white girl was expelled for bringing a small plastic picnic knife in her lunch to spread her peanut butter and jelly? KKK?
I heard a quick quip on MSLSD that the DOJ will open an investigation into the Irving, TX PD.
Ok - I’ve looked at this picture intensely and for the life of me can’t see what time it is.
... I'd shop that clock in front of 0's podium.
This was 100% a set-up: PR, compensation, recognition, a good shot at future gigs.
His dad is the smart one, and he’s an opportunist, too.
He understand Christian Americans WANT to be told how they’re bad, intolerant.
Try putting that through an airport screening machine and see if it gets through. Then get back to us,...
Believe it or not, this really is a case intended for pencils and assorted school supplies. My kids have them. They were sold at Walmart a couple of years ago and were intended to mimick the industrial looking Pelican cases.
As an electrical engineer, I can say that this kind of contraption doesn’t particularly alarm me. I have made and worked with many such skeletal circuits. I don’t see anything there that looks like it would detonate. If he were my kid, I would be proud of him for having the initiative to create something like this on his own.
Having said that, though, the kid should not have brought it to school without prior permission. If he’s really nerdy, he might not have understood how it would be perceived, but the first teacher should have told him to have his parents come get the device and no one would have had to know about it. No talk show fodder, no invitation to the White House, just a kid and a harmless digital clock he built himself. Makes me wonder if there is more to the story. Bam-bam sure jumped on it fast enough.
"The thing in question was the product of Ahmed’s love of invention. He made the clock out of a metal briefcase-style box, a digital display, wires and a circuit board. It was bigger and bulkier than a typical bedside clock, with cords, screws and electrical components.""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."
This is B.S., either by the NY Times or by the kid and and a high school "engineering teacher".
The photo shows a AC power plug and cord going to a transformer. The transformer is laying loose on its side in the case (a safety hazard). Normally the transformer would be used, e.g., with a bridge rectifier, to supply power. But with the 9V battery connecter seen, perhaps the transformer might just be used to supply 60 Hz (or 120 Hz rectified) signals for time pulses. In either case the clock shouldn't have "beeped" during "English class" unless he had it plugged in. Oh, and were is the speaker or beeper?
Why would the "engineering teacher" say the clock is "nice" and then warn him?
Something's fishy here, even if it's just misleading and incompetent fifth-column media reporting. And with the CAIR-propaganda and staged press conference videos hitting YouTube, this looks like someone(s), along with the Muslim teen, deliberately pulsed the system.
The little sh*t's stunt begins to pay off.
