Can someone in the Irving TX area "draft" this young man?

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.

(Which I agree that is is a high possibility, there is a lot of Antisemitism in our country. But it's still wrong to assume that this is the case)

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