Of course an adult might gave been concerned, but when any SANE adult would have looked at the ‘bullet’ they would have seen that it was completely harmless and asked the child to tell the rest of the class about the ceremony where he got it, and would have given the child extra credit points.
Do you really think that casing is more dangerous than a pencil or a pen?
But we live in a world where PICTURES of guns are considered dangerous, so I guess panic is expected.

“But we live in a world where PICTURES of guns are considered dangerous, so I guess panic is expected.”
We also live in a world where crazy nuts shoot up schools and irresponsible parents let their kids carry all kinds of dangerous things to school. That’s where these “pantywaist” policies come from.
I’m not saying the shell casing was dangerous, but the policies exist for a reason.
