It's amazing how these assholes are incapable of admitting that they're wrong. "Attached is a picture of the device that shows it was suspicious in nature." I bet they don't even realize they just sound like idiots.
1. Evacuated the school 2. Called the bomb squad
Honestly, I'm not worried for Ahmed at all, in 15 years he will be in much better shape compared to 99% of the population. I'm just concerned about all the other kids given those teacher and school admins.

Wait, if this was an objective reaction having only to do with the nature of the device, then why is the student's religion even mentioned?
I really really hope he wins a multi-million dollar lawsuit for wrongful arrest and turns it into a billion dollar company that makes precision timepieces.
