[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas definition of "hoax bomb"

13)  "Hoax bomb" means a device that:
(A)  reasonably appears to be an explosive or incendiary device

Electronic components wired to a battery does not REASONABLY appear to be an explosive device because ... an explosive device necessarily requires explosive material.

(B)  by its design causes alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or a volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.[/b]

The fact that a device caused alarm to a teacher or school administrator is not germane as they are not an official of either (a) a public safety agency or (b) a volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.

Mohamed took his homebrew clock to school to show a teacher, not to some public venue with it taped to his chest in an effort to ignite fear and panic.

Yeah, I guess that's why the police didn't charge him with anything, in the end.   But that's what they were thinking of charging him with, when he was arrested.   Making a Hoax Bomb.

However, as there were school security officers at the school, I'm sure that they could be considered public safety agents.[/quote]
