Actually it looks nothing like an IED except the kind you see in the movies. No explosives, shrapnel, or bomb casing (like pressure cooker). Closed it looked like a nondescript case. Which looks more like an IED than the wires since IEDs should be nondescript, Our robotics lab is currently a mess. it has circuit boards and wires all over the place. Some of which would make effective bomb timers. We also have air rifles in the same place, but that is a different story.

As far as the school goes, I don't think the teacher did anything wrong. Something you have questions about, send to the administration. The administration is handicapped a little because privacy laws prevent them from telling their side the story. (Student may have made previous threatening statements, etc ), Legitimate bomb threats/hoaxes are serious business. I have no reason to think that was the case here, this in an hypothetical. I do know if my child was suspended based on the evidence in the media, if this could not be resolved peacefully, the school would be talking to lawyers.

I agree. Ahmed is reportedly Muslim. Antisemitism isn't the right phobia.
