If they were so concerned it was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school and sent in the Bomb Ordinance team. That proves the school was absolutely stupid.
Circuit boards are usually square or rectangular, so putting it in a box or small hinged container is the only option.
the cops and the school wanted to know the reason the kid was making an electronic suitcase device that had a circuit board attached to a timing device.. It’s not far fetched to think he may have made it there at school or had brought it to school to add more parts and and used as a bomb somewhere else later.. there have been kids a heck of a lot younger than that kid involved with electronic timing devices that did go boom..... better safe than sorry
“If they were so concerned it was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school and sent in the Bomb Ordinance team. That proves the school was absolutely stupid.”
Because the Cops knew the kid was pulling their, and the school’s, chain. He made a fake bomb, and they knew it. Use your head. You don’t make fake bombs if you are a Muslim kid going to school a few days after 9/11, and showing it to a 2nd teacher when you don’t get the reaction you were expecting from the 1st one, so that it would eventually gain the desired media attention. It’s not the school that is stupid. Look in a mirror.
No one ever said they thought it was a bomb. From the start it was considered and treated as a bomb hoax.
On another thread someone mentioned that the kid had a history of making things like this. So the likelyist explanation is that the school decided to “teach him a lesson” by calling in the cops without thinking through the possibility of where it could all go ...
