You can pack plenty of explosives in that case.


You can do that in a book aswell, or a lunchbox.

If they really thought he made a bomb, why let everyone stay in the building. Why let an english teacher look at it before someone who might know what they were looking at or just someone who knows... something.

It doesnt take long to exclude the fact that the clock was not a bomb.

******Im gonna say yes because i did the same thing when i was a kid.

I find this whole thing absurd at a level beyond my english vocabulary.

I am not quite sure how to dumb down my answers any further for the "challenged" among us.

Do you know how to we a server without using a cloth?

That's not a suitcase bomb. I would debunk it myself but thanks to the internet I can be lazy and just provide a link. Turns out it's a tradeshow/demo case made by Honeywell to show off products.

A bomb isn't going to have that many electronic components in it. You don't actually need any electronics. As far as electronics go, a bomb is going to be have either a small project breadboard with a few DIP components, a small commercial micro controller board like a PIC, HC11, or an Arduino (if they want to get really fancy), or cell phone (See my linked post in post #24, that was a roadside IED)

Here are two actual, actual suitcase bombs:

Jebus balls the paranoia in this country.

How many terrorist attacks at schools have we had?



none -

so.....CLEARLY......."transparent backpacks, no tolerance for poptarts, anti-timepiece" - schoolboard policies are very effective.

obviously we needed even more

for the children

***>Was the response over the top? Maybe. But what if it HAD been a bomb and
>some kid had just blown up a school after showing the device around and
>nobody said anything - the outcry would be a hundred times worse than it is
>now.

Ironically, if he had used a gun instead of a bomb, the outcry would immediately be "the gun had NOTHING to do with it! Why go after law abiding people for the actions of a terrorist? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Focus on the problem, not the device." But since there are no big well-funded digital clock lobbies . . . . .



Never heard of a bomb being used for self defense. :P

Never heard of a clock blowing people up.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yea I'm sure the kids had to get the guns from somewhere.

But it does dissolve this comment.

Mass murder, terrorist attack . . . I don't really disseminate.

It's all just workplace violence anyway.

>Well in my area the schools mandate mesh fabric or clear plastic backpacks
>since 9/11.

Well, if that's working, it's only logical to mandate mesh fabric or clear plastic clothes. Would prevent concealed weapons and mass killings.



Maybe...if they don't allow books.

All of these rules and restrictions you put on yourself is just for a false sense of saftey. None of the rules listed in the thread will prevent anyone who wants to do harm. Its all paranoia and i wonder how scared you must be every day to live with these rules. "Home of the free, land of the brave" - i dont mean to be provocative but... yeah right.

***I wonder if this was a set up, and the consequences known, and the point made.


This was also my first thought.[...] it is really a bit hard to believe, is it not?

Can anyone who has more information factcheck this video? I don't generally agree with Stefan Molyneux, but this is really close to my first instinct about how this could have wound down.

I am pretty sure having a clear book sack has stopped at least one kid from going you know what I am going to bring a gun to school today to intimidate someone or show off to my friends.

Even if the intent was not to harm at least it kept a ND from possibly happening, and I am sure you cant disagree that is a good thing.

I thought you were against the pussification of America.

Where does it end? Should kids just stay at home and e-learn everything so nothing bad can ever happen to them?
