Which is the exact problem the cops have. You have to decide if you want cops investigating possible crimes or just taking people's word for it. Like, "he looks innocent enough, we're out of here" is kind of the reverse of racial profiling.
Also interesting to note this kid's school is 25 miles from Garland, TX. No shortage of nutters on both sides there.

Does anyone care about that one? Or is it just about the moral outrage bandwagon of "well it could have been a bomb because I saw a movie once and I think that's what a bomb looks and maybe this kid designed an exotic explosive to look like the foam liner of a pencil case because he's a boy genius from a comic book".
I do have to wonder, though, if the teachers and cops actually lose sensitivity points for not evacuating the school because they believed there was an actual working bomb sitting in front of them. I mean what is wrong with the adults in this situation? They think there is a bomb right there! It's a bomb people! Get the children out of the building! Everyone is in danger! What were they waiting for? Were they waiting for the bomb to go off?

This has been explained like a dozen times now. Not sure what you don't get. The kid wasn't being investigated for having a bomb.
