Building a digital clock should only consist of a few wires, a battery, an oscillator, a display, a chip (perhaps a chipset) and some input devices. It should easily fit into a box the size of a deck of cards - not a SUITCASE.
The only way an adult would mistake a homemade clock with a bomb; was if ever intention was made to make the homemade clock look and appear to be a bomb.
Just as the only way to make a toaster appear to be a bomb, would be to make the package the toaster was within, appear to be a bomb.
It wasn't in a "suitcase." Look at this picture:
The prongs on the ac plug are 1/2 inch apart. That makes this case about 5x7 inches by 2 inches deep. If the empty space was filled with C4 it would still be deadly, or worse if it was just the timer component for something larger.
Or more likely a way to make someone hesitate to take action somewhere at some point in the future when it will be real.
Correct. Which is why this was a TEST RUN.
Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool, IMO.
Muslims have no problem using their children as suicide bombers in the Middle East. To them, it is a sacred act to be martyred for their cause.
Hodar - you need to read more about this incident. He didn’t make a clock.
He took an existing clock and put it in a pencil box, not a suitcase. Then, after being told by his science teacher to put it away and not show it to anyone, he got up from his desk in the middle of English class to plug it into the wall to get it to make noise and show it to his English teacher.
Whoever thought of using a METAL SUITCASE to make a “clock”....or using a Pressure Cooker to KILL CHILDREN!!
