Kudos for what though? He unscrewed an alarm clock and screwed it into a pencil case. Basic motor skills are nothing to be proud of.
(3)obviously he and his father knew the reaction to his "invention" would garner them attention.
He said some of the boards were already manufactured.

Regardless of how he made it, he got kudos and you guys can't stand it. I'm not defending his craftsmanship. I don't care.
If so, they were right. The authorities still had a choice in the matter.(3)obviously he and his father knew the reaction to his "invention" would garner them attention.
As with all conspiracy theories, y'all's narrative seems a little contradictory. His father is a diabolical genius who concocted this entire controversy which he knew would lead to instant celebrity for his son and political gain for himself, but they're also idiots who can't make a homemade clock without simply moving the guts from one container to the other.
You guys? I don't care about the kudos he's gotten, already said it was a great troll job.
The media and our President look like fools, kudos to Ahmed and his Dad.
bombs could have countdown timers with red number displays
I'm afraid to answer. You have demonstrated explosives expertise. Explosive diarrhea that is.
All thread long you are attempting to push your agenda that in no way shape or form could it be a bomb and how dumb everyone is. Now that info comes out from a bomb expert that it looks very much like some bomb makers have put together, instead of owning up you attempt to change the subject. Not that your twuntiness comes as a suprise to any other posters, it does not. Throw in DarrinS posting the college campus clips where no one thinks it looks like a phone, and you run along as quick as you can.
lol
tbf, they looked like fools long before Durka Durka and son.
A circuit board and a couple of wires=bomb? Should've asked the engineering students imo.
lol no .
You still haven't answered.
You never will.
What a colossal, flabby pussy you are.
Do you think it looks like a bomb?
Does anyone have a pic of all the stuff the pecker has been given since last week? I saw the one where he was standing by all the stuff Microsoft gave him. LMAO people are dumbasses if they still think this wasn't a troll job.
You are the dumbass for buying into the conspiracy bull .
For those supporting the kid...its time to admit it was a hoax..and me thinks his sister put him up to it..they have a history of this in their family..and you can't tell me he didn't know his sister was accused of this....like I said he wore that ing NASA t-shirt as cover....
'Clock-boy's' sister was suspended for 'bomb' threat
Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/clock-boy...cYOYx4cZWsG.99The 17-year-old sister of Muslim “clock boy” Ahmed Mohamed says she too was suspended from school due to a “bomb”-related accusation.
Eyman Mohamed told the Daily Beast during a day-long interview with the family Sept. 17 about an incident where she was accused of wanting to blow up her school.
“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with,” Mohamed told the Daily Beast. “I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it. And so, when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous. I’m kinda like –it’s like he’s standing for me.”
The young girl said her suspension did not take place at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas. Instead, her punishment came during her first year of middle school when the family moved to the state from New York City.
Conspiracy involves planning and collaboration from at least two people. I don't think this was a conspiracy, but might have been a prank.
As a kid, I took things apart to see how they worked. This is what curious kids do who eventually go on to be engineers, etc. So, in that sense, I can relate to Ahmed. Actually, by the time I was Ahmed's age, I could rebuild small engines (but I digress). Today, I'm the parent of a kid Ahmed's age, and I can tell you, they are incredibly tech savvy and can hack and build incredible things. They call themselves "makers" these days. We just referred to it as tinkering back in the day. Anyway, if Ahmed, as he claims, wanted to impress his "engineering teacher" with a disassembled digital clock slapped into a pencil case, that doesn't make sense to me. He's smart enough to know that a teacher who understood electronics would see this for what it was -- the guts of a clock placed in a box. No mods -- not even any mods to the enclosure. I'm not sure what he thought they'd be impressed with. Secondly, he plugged this thing into an outlet in English class. This doesn't make sense to me either. This is the class where the clock beeped and the teacher became alarmed. When asked about why he plugged it in during English class, he said he "wanted to impress all of his teachers". Something is fishy about this. In another interview, he said he was showing it to another student in English class and the alarm when off. This is when the English teacher said "What was that noise?" and that's when Ahmed immediately unplugged the clock. This doesn't sound like he was trying to impress his English teacher, but instead shows that he knew it was inappropriate to have that plugged in during his English class.
It may be that he was just trying to impress his fellow students with the clock and had no idea about all the events that would unfold.
I do think all the attention, invites, scholarships, etc. are a bit of a slap in the face to kids who are really creative and actually design and build their own creations.
And the kid who says he was once called a "bomb maker" had to have known that his clock-in-a-box may have looked su ious to the untrained eye. It's naive to think otherwise.
Do I think this was some kind of jihadist "dry run"?
No
Do you think it was ok for the police to arrest him?
If there is a Texas law for possessing a "hoax bomb" and that's what they believed it was, what were they supposed to do?
He's confusing the words impress and scare. With this info on his sister it's clear they plotted this....it's a passive -aggressive hoax meant to tow the line...he's lucky they didn't evacuate the school and make things much harder on him. ..I started out giving him a slight benefit of doubt but it's becoming more clearer he plotted this with his sister .. she was previously accused of bomb threats and this kid knew it... he wanted this exact response. ...it's why he wore that NASA shirt..he was playing coy
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, transports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to:
(1) make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device; or
(2) cause alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.

If they believed if it was a hoax, they need to get hoax training. Neither (1) nor (2) happened. It was a wrongful arrest.
I'm trying to ignore his family, for now, and just focus on what Ahmed said he wanted to do. As a piece of technology, a digital clock is completely uninteresting. The basic design hasn't changed much in over 30 years. Most kids that are into electronics nowadays are playing around with single-board computers, digital cameras, video, audio, alternative energy, etc. If he made a solar powered clock, I suppose that might impress a science teacher. Taking the guts out of an existing clock and putting them into a box might impress a science teacher if the student was 7 or 8 yrs old. This is a high school student. There's something wrong with his story.
alright we've got a mystery on our hands.
Shaggy, you Velma and Scooby go that way. Daphne and I will head this way towards the van.
Maybe they do. The "intent" part is what's difficult to ascertain.
