You are missing one key point. RIGHT NOW, the wires are connected to an LED display. Wires can be disconnected and reconnected. It's really not that hard. In fact, it often makes sense to NOT connect something to an "explodey thing" right away as you call it, because...well....ask Bill Ayers....  This is why officers and military types see these things and get concerned - and want to investigate them.

The items you describe above were not taken out of their original cases and put into a pencil case. They are in their original form. [/quote]

Do you know what an IED without an explosive charge and a detonator looks like?  A cell phone.  By your logic, every cell phone in America is a potential "explodey thing" not yet connected up.

This is so stupid I can't even get my head around it.  The boy had a clock. He told everyone it is a clock.  Furthermore, it IS IN FACT A CLOCK!   And your imagination about what it could eventually become based on your knowledge obtained from an extensive DVD collection and/or fear of Muslims does not actually change that.[/quote]

Yes, I absolutely do. That's why I know it's pretty damn critical to have things checked out and not believe what said by the individual carrying a suspicious device. Add to that, the current goings-on in Irving, TX and you have a police force and school system that's a bit more on edge.

The components were in a plastic casing - a clock housing. The kid removed that and arranged the components in a pencil box, then told his teachers he made a clock. At the very least, we know he didn't make the clock. He simply rearranged the bits in another casing.[/quote]
