Or did the kid just throw a bunch of electronics in a briefcase, and add an alarm clock to make a hoax bomb?

That's how I saw it but was taken to task by quite a few FReepers for my default position of not trusting the yute and for siding with the school and police. The track record of muzzie behavior has made me personally choose the "guilty until proven innocent" approach with them.

Breitbart has a lot of good info:

Apparently the little angel’s daddy has a history of activism.

This site is pro Ahmed, but at least shows the components of the ‘clock’:

Its obvious that he didn’t ‘build’ a clock at all. Rather, he took apart a digital clock and put the components in a case.

I’m very suspicious of this entire story.
