You're entire logic is twisted and you've added in random things like a vest and "make believe explosives" to create a completely different scenario.
You don't make a clock first, then add circuit boards and wires afterwards. And that is not what the boy did.
No you are saying its just a clock. Im saying when does a clock just stop been a clock?
wired up to a vest with fake explosives, it ceases to be just a clock. Why does fitting it to a briefcase with other things any different?
No i am just saying that most normal people dont know what a bomb looks like, just the tv/film version./ So if a kid makes something which looks like a tv/film bomb then I can see why 3 teachers reported him and the police were called.
Answer me this? why did he fit it all inside a briefcase and make it look like a bomb?
And of course if asked, hes not going to say its a pretend bomb to a teacher. But I bet he did to his mates at school.
