Ahmed Mohamad 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. The clock was made by Micronta and sold by Radio Shack in the mid 80’s, model number 63-765A. You can buy the clock today on e-bay for $29.95.Ms Tree said:
Yes I did and if you read the account you will find that he did not. The clock was in his bag and it beeped. The teacher asked what it was and she was shown. At that point she reported it. Why would his parents not encourage him to build stuff? The kid is creative and smart. That should be encouraged. Kids have been suspended for countless stupid things. Pop tarts included. Whats your point?
The item was a clock. There was nothing that even remotely looked like explosives or a bomb. Again, whats your point? If there were so scared it was a bomb why was the school not evacuated and why was the bomb squad not called?
You are right about that. A 9th grade Arabic kid who built a clock was placed in handcuffs and denied the ability to contact his parents. I think the odds are pretty good that had the kid been a white none of this would have happened.
I guess you have not flown in a while. I doubt it will be an issue.
It appears that the concept of context is lost on you.
