I guess that's just some big LED readout... you could stuff enough behind it.

Looks bomb enough to me. Even something you might be on a cheap B movie set.

“He said, ‘It looks like a movie bomb to me.’”

Do bombs usually look like movie bombs? Or do most hacked-together electronics look like movie bombs? Do we make judgement calls about reality based on what we see in the movies?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

it's a school. there are kids there. you almost have to go over the top.

Hey, all I said was I agree with the teacher and school's decision. The cops on the other hand should have handled their interrogation better. They f'd up and created this whole media circus!

[Kidlicious]

It sure doesn't look like a clock.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

I've never seen one like that at walmart.

[Kidlicious]

All I'm saying is the people accusing the school and police of hating Muslims are stupider than the school and police for thinking that's a bomb.

[pchang]

umm, yeah it could. that something of red in the shape of a block. a circuit board. something that looks like could hold batteries.

The red/orange block is the display and it has no depth (it is just a flat plate). Circuit boards also have no depth.

[The Warlord]

It most certainly looks like a bomb. Unquestionably.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

i guess i could say you are the expert - but that would be as bad as assuming bomb because the kid is muslim... right?

[pchang]

Well, you don't know me, but I was trained by our government with respect to explosives (of all types).

[My Wife Hates CIV]

ok so to you yeah, you could probably tell right away. great.

but most of us that work at schools (and probably most average cops) have not and wouldn't have a clue.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

so yeah, it looks bomb like.

Police departments near big cities do have access to a Bomb Squad........


Hey, Bob. I'm going to text you a picture. Is that a bomb?
