#1 A wee nursery-school weisenheimer
Invented a cool countdown timer:
"I worked with my mama
To build for Obama
This 'Get the f--- outta here!' chimer."

The teenager, who dabbles in robotics

A few months ago I met a teenager who truly works with electronics and robotics. He built an electronic prosthetic hand that's cheaper than what's currently on the market. His college plans are to major in electrical engineering and pre-med.

He won't get an invitation to the White House, though. He's not a Muslim lunatic.

#7 Where he will eventually join the ranks of the renowned Muslim Scientists of Benevolence(TM).

#8 Remember, if you see something suspicious, don't report it you Islamophobe.

[I'd put a /s on that, but Homeland and the WH made that adjustment].

#9 Smart to move him out of the eye of the American public before his story totally unravels and his success as a propaganda tool fades.

Seems our enemies know about messaging and propaganda.

#10 So, creating only a 'hoax bomb' is enough to get you into, as Ebbart Glererong5900 put it, Qatar Polytechnic IED University nowdays?

They have lowered their standards quite a bit.

He'll come home a certified bomb-maker after having studied with the best. No more 'Hoax' for him! Doesn't that give you a nice warm feeling?

#11 I wonder if bomb-boy could build another one from scratch in a controlled environment.

#12 From Steyn's article on the topic:

"Ahmed can't make a clock. All he can do is rip the guts out of some crappy Radio Shack thing from the Seventies, and tape it into a simulacrum of a suitcase bomb, which is not a skill to be disdained, at least in some parts of the world."
