[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me try and get this right.  Let's assume that the teacher genuinely thought that the black case with wires and computery-looking stuff was a cause for concern and possibly even a bomb.  So, what does the teacher do?  She doesn't pull the fire alarm or evacuate the classroom or anything else to safeguard the students or school.  Instead she sends the student to the office to let someone else deal with the situation.  And had it truly been a bomb, or the student had some malicious act planned, he would have had the opportunity to put the plan in motion.  Nothing about this whole episode makes any sense.[/quote]

No, she thought it might be a "look-alike" weapon, which is prohibited according to school rules.[/quote

Bullsh*t.  Did you even think about what you wrote?  "[S]he thought it MIGHT be a 'look-alike' weapon ..."  Give me a break.[/quote]

That's the school point of view.   This thing might be used to cause confusion and fear because while they realize it isn't a bomb, some people might think it was a bomb.   That is the actual definition of a lookalike weapon.   It isn't really a gun, but looks like a gun and so can cause fear or disruption.   Whether the teacher reporting him through it was an actual bomb, or just something that could look like a bomb, she (he?) reported him to the principal for further determination.

It was a suspicious item (to the school) because it was a look-alike weapon.   That's a judgment call, informed by one's knowledge of science and engineering.
