I don’t without examining the case. However, there are no wires going into the side of the case, nor evidence of a detonator. It takes more than two wires to detonate plastic explosives. A look at the crap in the case shows that it’s the guts of a typical alarm clock, and there’s nothing else evident there.

Obviously the teachers and faculty didn’t think there was a bomb either, or they would have evacuated the school.

Three of four threat markers, REQUIRES a prudent response.

“A look at the crap in the case shows that it’s the guts of a typical alarm clock, and there’s nothing else evident there.”

To a typical layman, who unlike you has no idea what a real suitcase bomb actually looks like, but knows that in general it is a bunch of wires and circuit-like boards hooked together with a ticking timer and placed inside of a suitcase; to that person it would look like what could be a suitcase bomb.

What I am very curious about is why you are so eager to try to show that you are some kind of expert on suitcase bombs and what they look like. Are you trying to puff up your ego by showing how knowledgeable you are to your fellow Freepers, showing how vastly superior in intellect you are on this subject of bombs.

Or have you made suitcase bombs yourself in the past? Or there is something else in your past that we all should know about when evaluating your somewhat obsessive defense of this kid and his phony clock? Especially as you are aware the kid’s father holds to radical thoughts and actions. What is it that is motivating you here, as what you are saying is just not a particularly normal reaction after seeing the pictures of what it was the kid brought to school, unsolicited and not for any assigned project. In other words, for no known reason at all and most likely at the instigation of his father to make trouble. And he did it a few days after 9/11. His timing was better than the ticking of his suitcase “clock.”

Have a look at this:

Are those potatoes really hunks of C4 disguised as potatoes, ready to go off when the alarm sounds?

Or are those potatoes just lumps of disguised Play-Doh designed to scarehoax English teachers?

Or is that a potato-powered watch?
