YES! Thank you. Sure, this is a troublesome demographic. But IF this kid is innocent, the school and police just made it a little harder for him to believe that the US really is about freedom, our common law traditions, and so forth.

So a circuit board without anything that could be an explosive on it is taken by the wonderously stupid school as a potential ... bomb!
Oooh, transistors! LEDs! Beepy noises just like in the MOVIES! Everybody under his desk, STAT!
