Sad part is, somebody at Google, MIT, Microsoft, and Facebook no doubt immediately recognized the hoax...but went along anyway.

More likely, they either (1) rolled their eyes and ignored the stupidity thinking no one would be fooled, or (2) tried to correct the misunderstanding only to discover that the news media had their theme and would not listen.

I remember that story on Fox and Friends. Not long ago, there was a story about a man who actually did that on this forum, I believe.

By ‘go along’, I mean they invited him to their facility or showered him with gifts.

The “clock” he “invented” was used elsewhere for a bomb...

But, Ahmed DID make, or possess a fully-functioning DETONATOR. The alarm triggered in his backpack. That point must also be emphasized.

I like to think of it as an unloaded bomb; kind of like an unloaded firearm.

Um, no. A clock is not a detonator. Don’t believe everything you see in movies.

This was nothing more than a deliberate provocation to determine the response and subsequent fall-out.

The little shit and his family should be locked-up or deported.

I think the entire thing was a setup from front to back.

Hey Ahmed, You Didn’t Build That! Muslim Teen’s Digital Clock “Invention” A Fraudulent Hoax

Today’s News September 19, 2015 5 443 Velvet Hammer

Although, deception is deception, regardless of the motive behind it, and Muslim Islamic apologists including Ahmed’s father; Mohamed ElHassan Mohamed are deceptive to their core.

Do you really think that link disputes what I said? It actually proves my point (from your link):

“He later said Parmar needed an explosive device to blow up a bridge or something large in India, and that he needed timers for an explosive device. In that case, the relay could be used to trigger the detonator circuit for a blasting cap which would provide the initial shock needed to detonate larger explosives such as dynamite.[20][21]”

Get it? The relay (from the clock) could be used to trigger the detonator. The clock itself is not, and cannot be, a detonator. Anyone who says something like that obviously has little clue what a detonator actually is.

Uh, yes.
A clock was used as a detonation device.
The alarm function being used to initiate a blasting cap.
So yes, it does dispute your claim.

“Anyone who says something like that obviously has little clue what a detonator actually is.”

Funny, when I worked at Precision Blasting (2006), the thing that was called a “Detonator” was the hand held battery operated push button detonator.
The blasting cap was always referred to as a blasting cap.

No it does not.

You obviously have no clue what you are talking about either. A clock is not, and cannot be a detonator.

A clock can be used as part of a timed trigger to activate a detonator, but even if it was used that way, the clock wouldn’t magically become a detonator. If you don’t know how these things work, maybe just refrain from commenting, because you sound very silly.

The thing that initiates the blasting cap is the detonator.
