Not much to it really. The kid said he threw it together in about 20 minutes.

"When I read the story about Ahmed...I said 'Oh my gosh, how could this happen again?'" Kiera Wilmot of Lakeland, Florida told ABC News today. "[In my case] sometimes I think it was racial profiling and sometimes I think it was just ignorance."
Wilmot, now 19, said that in April 2013 she brought a science project to school in Bartow, Florida -- a makeshift volcano that she was very excited to show her teacher.
"He said he needed to approve it first, so I brought it in thinking he literally needed to see it in person," she said.
She said the project was "more advanced" than a "baking soda and vinegar volcano" and her classmates asked to see how it worked.
Wilmot said she activated the volcano outside the cafeteria of Bartow High School that morning, when the lid popped off and the bottom of the device began to smoke. No students were hurt and no school property was damaged.
Soon after, the then 16-year-old was approached by the dean of students.
"He said 'What's going on?'" Wilmot recalled. I said 'Oh, I was just showing my science project to my friends."
Wilmot said when her science teacher was approached by a school official, he said there were no science experiments assigned to his class that week.
Wilmot was then brought to the juvenile detention center where she was arrested on bomb charges.
"I cried as soon as they told me," she said. "As they were fingerprinting and taking mugshots I said 'Oh my gosh, I'm an actual criminal. I know I didn’t do anything wrong but I felt like I had to believe I did something wrong."
Electronic parts all look the same regardless of where they are bought.
Have you ever SEEN a REAL "suitcase bomb"? Here's a hint. THEY DON'T fit into a suitcase.
The amount of people I see justifying ridiculously racist reactions on this site is depressing.
Depressing enough to drive me from ATS permanently. Keep on embracing ignorance.

I never said anything about muslims..... I have no problems with muslims, blacks and homosexuals.
My definition of terrorist is different from yours, mine probably being the correct one.

You do not know his intentions..... to most it would look like a suitcase bomb, maybe built to intimidate a teacher with fear. Mission accomplished.... That would be terrorism.
Much like the KKK wearing white to terrorize, designed to give the wearer an intimidating appearance. This clock has a intimidating appearance of a suitcase bomb.
