Quote:Couple things here. I can assume that the teacher and principle are not experts in explosive ordinance nor electronics and would be able to properly conclude that the device was indeed not a bomb. So in this case, why would you leave it up to the judgement of untrained, uneducated individuals? They felt threatened, and they made a judgement call. Again, they were most likely NOT educated in explosive ordinance. It was a matter of safety and I feel they made the right choice. At least they care enough about their student body to want to protect them from potential danger.

 

I would suggest reading the articles that I linked above, or at least read the quotes that I posted from the articles.  He showed it to his Engineering teacher who one would think would be able to recognize basic electronic circuit boards.

 

Here is something to ponder that isn't real clear.  Was he allowed to demonstrate and explain how it worked?  Perhaps he would have been able to teach these "educators" a thing or two.
