[Lab] Ahmed's Clock - Discussion

[Ken McKinnon]

I believe Micheal was referring ot an incident last week where a young 
man took a clock through airport security in Toronto.  It looked like this:

That guy got what he deserved as he just wanted to see "what would 
happen".  Well, it happened, and he is in a bit of sh*t.

The one in Dallas was described as a circuit board, power supply and 
display.
The cop described it as a "Hollywood Bomb" without describing any mass 
to be used as the explosive agent.
The video shows a young man that is very much a geek trying to impress 
his shop teachers with his project....and a extremely overreactive response.

At least he got an invite to the Whitehouse, so hopefully something good 
will come of this.
