Exactly, hence, no project/no assignment . . .teacher told him to put it away, then he goes and plugs it into an outlet in his English class, go figure.
Try to bring a similar device to an airplane and see what happens.
I have many times. It is rare that a screen-er even looks. They see prototype electronics reasonably often. You need something that looks like an explosive before you get a reaction. At one point they use to make you turn on a lap top...though I never did figure out what that was supposed to accomplish.

Oh, it was a project and he was on an assignment but not for the engineering class. The kid was on a mission.
Riddle me this Batman: Why did he plug this contraption into an outlet in his English class?!
Simply to demonstrate to his classmates and teacher that his Radio Shack clock in a metallic case with wires sticking out -- which he brought to class entirely on his own prerogative -- was operating properly and the alarm setting was working. If the left is to be believed, little Ahmed was very proud of his "invention" ... and evidently is not a very bright kid.
Apparently you don't know what fake means. You don't need a bunch of red cylinders with "TNT" printed on them to look like a potential bomb.
Apparently this is what a REAL bomb is supposed to look like. I think it's supposed to have ACME written on the side of it, or clearly it's not real, and anyone would be stupid to have the impression that it even remotely resembles an explosive device.
Detention does not suffice when you need to find out the motives behind a fake IED.
The motive was to expose ignorance and he succeeded on many levels. Even ones he probably never contemplated
