The kid was trying to unsettle folks...
Why the hell else would he put it inside a briefcase or suitcase or whatever it was...
As far as being detained without parents knowing, that is how it works. Ashamed to say, put my daughter got into a fight at her middle school last year. No injuries caused, but the cop wanted to make an example. So she was arrested. I was not informed until after he left the school with her and they were on the way to the detention center. The sheriff department says that they do not want angry parents at the school confronting officers. Worried that situation could get out of hand. I do not like it, but I can admit that it is probably smart policy. BTW, my daughter was released to me and has been a little angel for the last two years!

I had to go look at my case. I’m pretty sure that `clock’ housing is a promotional Thompson Cigar Co, cigar case. It is identical to mine inside and out.
Probably belonged to the old man and he doesn’t want to `fess up to cigars. And “pencil case” as they are describing it sounds a lot better than cigar case.
With Obama and his fellow muslims, you can believe nothing you read or hear.
