[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add to the above (I'm the PP), this is an article about an electrician seeing a single loose wire, which he thought unusual:

“We were just trouble shooting,” Charlotin said. “One wire didn’t attach to a light. . . . I was expecting a light.”

[i]Charlotin’s find led police to the device, plastered into a bedroom closet and wired to explode when a light switch was flipped in the single-family home. A bomb squad safely disarmed the device, which authorities described as a plastic jug filled with accelerant[/i]

Remember that the Columbine shooters worked in tandem. It's not only lone individuals that police have to worry about. The family was well-known in the area due to the father's activist behavior, which is why one of the officers reportedly said something to the effect that he wasn't surprised it at who he was called to interview.

That is an extraordinarily interesting case that has pretty much nothing to do with this situation.

It seems your point in posting the above, PP, is to say that "wires can be suspicious because you can hook them up to things to make them explode."

In the story above, an electrician was investigating the wiring of a house, and noticed one wire that did not lead to a light. Instead, it lead to a deeply hidden plastic jub filled with some accelerant."

So -- it was a wire connecting a source of electricty to something that would burn or explode.   YES -- you got it, that is how wires can be very dangerous!

But a wire that goes from a battery to a LED display?   With NO accelerant?   This is called a "clock".   Or if you prefer, a "non explosive clock".

Other examples of non -explosive electical wires found in a school are:

1) clocks (they hang them on the wall, and have scary wire thingies inside them... did you ever look?)
2) computers
3) calculators
4) smart boards
5) DVD players
6)TVs
7) Ipods
8_ Ipads
9) laptop computers

the list of non explody things with wires that are NOT connected to accellerants in schools is actually pretty large!   So frankly, ANYONE could be working "in tandem" with a terrorist kid to hook up a timer to an exlody thingy.
