Oh and by the way he even said that he knew it "looked suspcious". HE IS A FRAUD AND A LIAR.
Get off the horse, several EXPERTS in the electronics field have already said that this was a old clock from radio shack that all the kid did was take it out of the original case.
People like you are why people get killed by terrorists.
I have hatred because people who have delt with bombs/IED's like Vets and police bomb squads have come out and said at first glance this LOOKS LIKE A BOMB!!!!!

Watch this and get a clue.
"making a radio"
It wasn't a radio, it was a clock and it wasn't one he built from scratch.
Have you seen a picture of this thing ?
Nowhere does this say he bought a kit at radio shack !
They were indeed wrong to arrest this kid for making a radio and shame on you for assuming it was a test run for a bomb !
Your kind of hatred is what gets innocent people jailed, beaten up and erroneously killed.
"American dream kind."
Well he will be doing just that, the kid is hooked up for life with tech companies, just for taking apart a clock and putting it back together in a suspect box, I guess that's all the innovation required to garner attention these days.
IMHO, I think it was a 15 min of fame stunt that worked, really well !!!!!
