I hate to keep pestering you but Rush Limbaugh has picked up on the story (if not this particular thread). Since Rush uses FR for his show prep, it's a good bet that he's been following the give-and-take here on this forum. So it has been widely disseminated in the media.
America's anchorman stated:
To the uneducated, untrained eye, this looks like a bomb. It looks like a timer of some sort. But whatever, this is not a clock, as the media is reporting. The media's telling you, "Poor Mohamed! All he did was take his science project to school -- it was a clock -- and these racist, homophobic Irving school people, look what they did! They called the cops and the cops arrested him and they've been stigmatized." That? Try getting that through Homeland Security.
By the way, the police say that they only arrested 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed because he could not explain to them what his thing was. Why couldn't he tell 'em it was just a clock? I suspect one of the reasons is, it didn't look like a clock.
A clock can be many things. A clock could be a timer. It could be a sundial. But you look at the two pictures that we have here, there's nothing here that makes you think this is a clock. Maybe a timer in there, but you can't even see that. It was only after he could not explain to the police that they arrested him.
Had that really been a bomb the MSM would be pissing all over themseleves trying to stay focused on the president’s narrative.

I suspect one of the reasons is, it didn't look like a clock. Supposedly, he had shown the device to his "engineering" teacher, who told him his gadget was neat but advised him not to show it to other teachers. If that's true, his engineering teacher should have been able to put a quick end to this gift to Obama and embarrassment to Irving. Why wasn't this engineering teacher consulted before dialing 911?
