It smells of a dry run to me.
But due to Islamic PC Armor, hereafter “IPCA”, he gets to see now whether he will be allowed to continue bringing stuff like this in until it is “live”.

Yeah I got an atta boy from my commander for proving I knew just how much C4 to shove up a bulls ass to blow his horns off without making his eyes water..... aka I didn’t break any windows in the school or surrounding houses with a quarter block of C and the explosive in the submunition I had to destroy .....

That was the professional part of my tagline .....:o)

It could’ve been his father “testing” the limits of school security to see if a bomb could get into a school passing as a clock without being questioned. The kid probably didn’t even build it himself but was doing his father’s jihadist bidding.

I’d have tried to make second base dance.
But that’s me and my evilness.
(My first MOS was artillery, of COURSE I like making stuff dance! LOL.)

Thanks for the fire support, fellas - the old greybeards who have been there usually remember what we’re talking about...

All right. Put the horsewhips away. According to Rusk the school administration in his case took the correct course of action.

Got to stop drunk-posting.

Well, I guess techie Rush Limbaugh is an idiot as well because he’s furious at Obama and this brat kid and thinks the photos look more like a bomb than a clock. He’s talking about it at this moment. The school did the right thing. But then I’m here in Manhattan at the moment, several miles from what 19 bratty young men did on September 11th.

To others: now the next time someone tries something like this, the teachers will ignore it. And you know what happens next.

I note that the contrarian had no contrary comment on your post 146 with real bombs that were ‘only a..pick your favorite device’.

Just a minor observation on my part. I’m sure the lady would enjoy having the little innocent mooseslime gift her with a clock. One of those special ‘its only a clock’ type..

Just wondering - did you ever build a clock kit (you know, like some on this thread have pointed out as being available) inside a briefcase with the digital display (you know, the thing that would have possibly identified the device as a clock on initial inspection) on the inside of the device so as to render it invisible and thus unusable for its stated purpose?

Wouldn't constructing 'just a clock' in that fashion arouse (rightfully so) suspicion in those of the not-a-sheeple class?

After all, this guy wore 'just a pair of shoes'...

Yeah, “just a pair of shoes”, “ just a pair of underwear”, “just a plane”, “ just a pressure cooker”...

Well, the kid in the video on the thread will be on a watchlist for daring to speak out against this muzzy and Obama.

It was initially closed, plugged in, buzzing, and the kid lied to the teacher about it initially.

Also when questioned by authorities he refused to answer questions.

The incident is an example of Muslims testing the limits. It's nice that some freepers can take apart an alarm clock and re-assemble it but it's hardly relevant.

“Well he did have to do some squeezing to fit 4 cubic inch device into a 3 cubic inch space if I have correct info.”

Nope. The 3 cubic inches is correct but the final volume is 432 cubic inches (very rough estimate of the briefcase size as 1 foot by 1 foot by 3 inches). The point was that he took something small and rube goldberged it into something needlessly large. Not the work of a prodigy unless he was engineering boom boxes in the 80’s.

There’s an interesting post here:

The title is “A clock or a bomb trigger”

Considering that functionally there is no difference between a clock and a bomb trigger, the media bending over backwards to excuse this away is interesting.

“Sure did. Looks like a disassembled alarm clock, complete with power cord. The fact that you people are hyperventilating over this thing is amazing.”

So after being told not to show it to other teachers he took the device (which is enclosed in a briefcase), to a class and apparently PLUGS IT IN, and sets it to beep loudly after some interval. Seems like he wanted to cause trouble to me. Keep in mind the device is hidden in a case so its not obvious what it is. Teachers who are not trained in demolition or bomb disposal dont know what they are looking at and only have the word of the muslim that it is a “clock”. If they have any intelligence at all they do not give a muslim with a suspicious package the benefit of the doubt.

Over the years I've noticed one common feature of clocks is that the time display is on the outside of the case for ease of visibility
This concept of putting the time display on the inside of the case reminds me of something.....no just can't put my finger on it.

Yes, clocks do tend to have readily visible exterior displays.
Amazing invention, isn’t it?
But you and I must be neanderthals, thinking such foolish thoughts as that!
