    I have no doubt this kid is a straight A student. Not really the point.

    And this "injustice" turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him.
    Haven't you speculated that he couldn't even build his own original clock if he wanted to? How do you know he is a straight A student?

    Anyone who thinks this was a planned out conspiracy is a dumbass.
    Anybody who doesn't is a dumbass.

    I don't know if this has been posted anywhere. Too much re edness in this thread to go thru the whole thing.

    I think the whole event – and our collective response, with everybody up to the President chiming in, says a whole lot about us. We don’t care that none of us were there and knows what happened, we jump to conclusions and assume we’re experts. We care about the story, but we don’t care about the actual facts. Headlines and click-bait are far more interesting than thinking for ourselves. We like to point out other any bit of perceived injustice or discrimination we can find – it’s practically a new national past-time. We like playing victim, and we like talking about victims – so much so we sometimes find victims where none really existed. We also like to find somebody to blame, even when there’s nobody at fault. We like to play social justice warrior on our Facebooks and Twitters, posting memes and headlines without digging in behind the sensationalism, winning bonus sensitivity points in the forms of likes and re-tweets. Once group-think kicks in, we rally around hash tags and start shouting moral outrage in a deafeningly loud national chorus. The media plays us like a fiddle, and we don’t even notice we’ve all been had.

    No, I think this kid is super smart, which makes the recycling of an existing clock and putting it in that case strange (at least to me). Especially, if the motivation was to impress an "engineering teacher".

    Novelty watch confiscated by TSA. Basically, it's just a watch.

    That totally looks like an AC alarm clock in a pencil case.

    No, it looks like a bomb, even though those are obviously just electrical fuses.

    Bottom line, TSA would confiscate sweet widdle Ahmed's device, even if it had Dora-the- in-Explorer and o Kitty stickers all over it.


    It's a pencil case

    Bottom line: you don't know that at all, but you'll be goddammed if you can't say "bottom line" about it.

    It is a pencil case.

    Anecdote!

    "Pencil case clock" and "su ious looking electronic device" are not listed on the list of forbidden items.
    "Novelty watch with electrical fuses" is not on the list of forbidden items either.

    I thought it was a clock. See, it's easy to play your stupid games.

    It would fall under the "no jokes" postings.

    The pencil case? I'm not sure. It resembles a clock in a pencil case more than anything.

    I'm getting pretty tired of talking about it. This kid is a rock star now. All thanks to the clock that may have a hoax bomb.

    was this the kid that literally told another student that he had a bomb?

    profiling!
    islamophobia!

    though yes, from what i gathered, like with the ahmed clock case, the cops exceeded their authority with the kid's detainment, in that they never notified his parents
