This is a picture of a real suitcase bomb. I don't think there was an innocent reason for the kid's design. It was purposeful and that purpose is evident today as the family has met with their lawyer.
I initially defended the kid until Dear Leader quickly stuck his fugly face in to the issue.
That sent up my red flags, since he’s wrong on 100% of the issues.
I posted to another thread... So where is the concerns for millions of innocent American CITIZENS who travel to do business everyday? The enemy Seeks to kill us financially. We are aiding them in doing this!
I got the complete pat down, feel up and swabbed for explosive residue by belligerent Obama TSA idiots coming through Chicago OHare today. I am a white 62 y o woman in a three piece clothing, undershirt was sleeveless and had to remove my over shirt which they call a jacket, my shoes and watch, but I did not remove my cross pendant. Highlight on their surround you with radiation machine was my chest, my crotch, my back. The dreadlock female gorilla felt up under my breasts, my abdomen, up my legs to my crotch in public, then I had to turn around for her to feel up the back of my body. In the background one idiot TSA was condescendingly and in a threatened manor warning everyone they needed to strip off most all loose garments. He very clearly said if you were hiding cash in your clothing you better fess up. My take is thanks to GW Bush we are subjected to this hell when we travel. I envision the next level we will be forced to strip naked, as the Nazis did to the Jews before they slaughtered them and divided the spoils they were stripped of.
Funny, I always seem to get this crap when I fly United. My flight to Chicago was via American and I breezed through with TSA pre check.

Same here. But after seeing a photo of the actual "clock" had a different impression. Digital clocks are common and trivial; have been around since the 1970s. That one is packaged like a bomb.
A mechanical clock would be more interesting, especially if hand made from scratch.
This episode stinks; was it a set up to fool (and mold) the low information crowd? POTUS was involved pretty quickly!
I thought it was STUPID that they arrested him until I heard Rush say yesterday that he couldn’t ANSWER what it was!!! I have never SEEN a picture of it though.
defended the kid
You will never ever catch me defending them. Never, not after all of the Americans that have died.
Can we deport them all?
Well, hi there, FRiend! I certainly do can never forget your defense of jihad boy.
I just wonder if you remember me as well: the "jerk", the "idiot", the "troll". The same one who called Ahmed, "another muzzie jihadist yute testing the waters" right after the story broke. Have you completed your "half a mind" plans to prepare a report to Jim Robinson to get me zotted yet?
Most people did initially defend the student. But, unfortunately, now that the other side of the story has come out to many of us, it has not been reported.
In a follow up story in the Dallas Morning News, nothing was mentioned about the father’s activism and connections ... maybe going to the top.
Unless we can somehow get some media outlet to explore the truth most people will still think this was outrageous abuse of an innocent kid.
But, Ahmed DID make, or possess a fully-functioning DETONATOR. The alarm triggered in his backpack. That point must also be emphasized.
