One of those "win win" stories. The clock boy and his whole family are leaving Texas and moving to Qatar.

What amazes me is that with all that has come out since the incident, he is not being prosecuted.

You and others keep saying it looks like a bomb or a hoax bomb...hooey. As the photo above shows it looks like, and is, a disassembled alarm clock. I get that scientific and technical knowledge in this country is at pretty pathetic levels, but one would pretty much have to be a technophobe or have a pretty lurid imagination to turn something so obviously prosaic into an explosive device. The idea of a hoax bomb is to make people think it's a bomb. That could have easily been accomplished by adding something that could be mistaken for an explosive charge. That "hoax bomb" wouldn't have hoaxed my grandma.

Since you seem to be an expert on explosives, how many real bombs have you seen? I am just wondering what real experience you have to be making determinations on what does or does not look like a bomb. If you have read through this entire thread you will see that I do have actual experience working with explosives and I doubt seriously you have any real experience but I may have missed something in this thread.
