Most of the commenters are overlooking the basic fact of just how seriously most schools take anything that might be considered a potential safety risk.
When I was in middle and high school in the mid- late 90s and very early 2000s, anyone caught bringing in something to school that could even remotely be seen as possibly resembling a bomb or other weapon would be in VERY deep doo- doo. With all the recent incidents like Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, such concerns and precautions have been rightfully amplified tenfold.
btw, I noticed in the website Ptarmigan linked to that the kid's father is apparently named Mohamed Mohamed. Radical Muslims generally aren't known for their creativity, other than in finding new ways to kill infidels.
The little bastard knew exactly what he was doing.
The next little muzzie who brings a real bomb to school won't be challenged, for fear of ridicule if it's another trial run.
It's just like police officers now being afraid to shoot 0bamaite savages until it's too late.
It was predictable that the jug-eared Kenyan would invite him to the White House.
1. That's what I'm thinking might have been the case. It's kind of like the "Flying Sheiks" on that airliner some years ago.
2. Obama actually invited him to the White House? That's both shocking and predictable at the same time. He'll probably give the little nutjob a medal.
