Andy,
Curious, I had the same reaction you got when I brought a home made
clock to school as a teen. "Gee, that's interesting!" I had put it in a
nice wood-grain box, so as not to arouse suspicion.
I did eventually get in trouble by bringing a key to school that would
open all the PE combo locks, but that was after a year and a half of
having the key, and the assistant principal said their locksmith told
them that it couldn't be done.
You don't get into education by being clever.

I saw that on the local news last night. (I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of
Texas.) It sounds like the school district is trying to hide behind a general
statement about protecting students and the Irving police department is blaming the
victim. Here’s a more detailed local news story.

If Ahmed had brought a nixie clock to school, would he have been accused of
making a time machine?
I would like to add that when I went to high school in Texas in the early
1970s, I brought an LED clock to electronics class. I wasn’t arrested,
suspended or had the clock confiscated.
