    (awaits storm of yokels claiming this was either a “dry run” to test school protocol before “the real thing,” or a “trick” to fool the authorities and media into revealing their bigotry and ignorance)

    Yokels and a certain loud-mouthed idiot who seems to make it his mission to make atheism look as bad as religious fundamentalism

    Wicked satire!Happy to hear why he was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car with the “bomb”, and why the school wasn’t evacuated. Note that I’m a foreigner and don’t understand your American ways.

    Why would anyone want a clock anyway? Don’t they have cellphones to tell time with like normal people?

    Well, looks like i get to play devils advocate today!

    First off, he didnt make that clock, its a radio shack clock from 1980 he just ripped the guts out of and stuffed haphazardly into a pencil case.

    Second, he knew it looked like a bomb, tried to make it not look like one, and said as much in an interview,

    Third, they never thought he had a bomb, they were more worried about his “activist” parents than him.

    What would happen if a kid like Ahmed Mohamed demonstrated his use of cursive writing? Might that be interpreted as a secret code used to communicate with other terrorists?

    “So there you have it folks, Ahmed Mohamed did not invent, nor build a clock. He took apart an existing clock, and transplanted the guts into a pencil box, and claimed it was his own creation. It all seems really fishy to me.”http://blogs.artvoice.com/techvoice/2015/09/17/reverse-engineering-ahmed-mohameds-clock-and-ourselves/Interesting article by an engineer (with no apparent axe to grind).
