I’m an electrical engineer and computer scientist. Your reaction to a couple of circuit boards in a metal case is different from my reaction to a couple of circuit boards in a metal case.
I am not an expert on suitcase bombs, nor have I ever seen one; however, I can design and generally identify the functions of circuit boards. Nothing in the pictures of what this kid put together looks like anything other than a harmless disassembled alarm clock.
Clearly the teachers who blew the whistle on this kid had never seen a real bomb...and they still haven’t.
“Clearly the teachers who blew the whistle on this kid had never seen a real bomb...and they still haven’t.”
And I hope they never will. Not a real suitcase bomb, or another fake one like they were confronted with. I would suggest that you climb down off of your high horse here about a punk kid who is trying to game the system, along with his father plotting in the background. This was done intentionally, regardless of whether anyone could figure out if the suitcase bomb was real or just made to look like one to the average Joe.
You obviously think you are vastly superior to the average Joe, and want to show off your knowledge here on FR. What you don’t appear to realize, or perhaps are starting to figure out, is that what you are saying is not really appreciated. In particular, as you keep posting the same baloney over and over again on this thread.
((Clearly the teachers who blew the whistle on this kid had never seen a real bomb...and they still haven’t.))
And you have? Please explain how a person such as yourself happen to see the internals of a suitcase enclosed explosive devise. When you finish that please tell us all that would be needed to convert the teens device from a clock to an explosive device. My son in-law who has disabled and destroyed well over 100 IED’s in both Iraq and Afghanistan is awaiting your answer.
What do the Israeli’s do? Do Palestinians attend public school?
