Look at the photos. If anybody tried to get a device like that through airport security, they would soon become deeply acquainted with the long arm of the TSA’s gloved hand. This isn’t about bringing a clock to school and being unfairly treated because of race or religion. It is a school, reacting as it must, to both protect everyone else and to adhere to zero tolerance policies when a student – probably quite innocently – brought in an electronic device that looks similar enough to a detonator or bomb trigger that an average school employee could not possibly know for sure.
But Obama has already invited the kid to the White House – for what – making the naive, pprobaby innocent, but still in the end poor decision to bring such a device to school. Which may really be a way to make people more hesitant and question “overreacting” to a Muslim with a potential bomb.
