I'm no expert in explosives of any type, but it wouldn't be that hard to turn an alarm clock into a trigger (I'm not going to say how to do this, but I can think of one way to accomplish this without much work involved).The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Would you appreciate it if someone made that kind of accusation against you and/or your kid(s)?
Do you know what a fake bomb looks like?
And yes, if my kid were THIS stupid, I would expect him/her to be treated similarly.
Now, if my kid chewed a PopTart into the shape of gun and got suspended for two weeks, I would NOT be happy.
Geesh...
