Although nothing should surprise me by now about the insanity of the American school system, this one touches a nerve. A kid - a young teenager - made a clock of his own design, took it to school, and found himself in police custody accused of making a fake terrorist bomb - a "movie bomb". Maybe it wouldn't have happened if he'd used nixies instead of 7 segment displays, as then the morons at his school might have asked him what it was instead of instantly recognizing it as a deadly bomb like the ones they've seen in Hollywood movies. Way to go, teachers, for discouraging him from ever doing anything creative like that again.
