Science Project Causes Bomb Scare, Evacuation

[snowgoer1998]

I remember being a kid and downstairs in my friends basement doing all kinds of science experiments...we'd find whatever we could and start pouring stuff together to see what happened.

Nothing ever did...but there was always tomorrow.

We did take a paperclip and wire it to a plug...now THAT was interesting...a direct short across a 120v, 15 amp circuit...I can still remember the flash of light...it was SOOOO COOOOLLL!!!!

It was a science fair? How dare the child bring in a science project! What were they expecting? Wires, plastic bottles, batteries...these are the main components of a science project...Next up, "14 year old arrested on baseball field for wielding a baseball bat, authorities distraught!"

One could also blame Columbine. I'd agree with you too since when I was in high school I knew plenty of people who were either reading about or dabbling a little bit with creating flammables. They were doing it for just experiment, not to ever use it to harm anyone or damage property either deliberately or accidentally.

[citation][nom]victomofreality[/nom]Alright so doing your homework is against the schools policies? Or they're of the belief that it herisy to detect movement with something other then your eyes? And what did the parents do wrong in all of this to need councelling? OMFG I'm glad I'm not American![/citation]

I'm glad you aren't either, you can stay where you are. We don't need more immigrants.

Is it just me, or has there been an explosion (pun intended) in the number of these false bomb reports over the last few days?

I recall seeing 3 just from Tom's.

This is exactly why the kid was suspected. He obviously must "look foreign" if you catch my drift. Can't be having our good ol' boys apologising to no *iggers, yell@s, we7backs, n1ps or damn muslimists now can we....[sarcasm/irony]

Honestly dude, you are such a douche. (thats french for shower)

"According Sign On San Diego, the student will not be prosecuted, but authorities recommended that he and his parents get counseling. The student violated school policies, but there was no criminal intent, Luque said."

get counseling for what? being creative and having an imaginative outlook in school? this is the kind of event that causes students to stop trying to think outside the box.
