Once I finally saw the “clock” i completely understood the school’s reaction. Some one went out of their way to make this look like an IED. Why do you need a briefcase for a digital clock?
That's right and you're not alone in that analysis.
Cathie Adams, president of the conservative Texas Eagle Forum and former chairwoman of the Texas Republican Party, said Thursday that Ahmed's clock looked suspicious and that authorities were right to act.
She said the boy was "pushing the envelope" and provoking a response. "Was he testing the system? And why?"
So why wasn’t the school evacuated and the bomb squad called in right away?
