Well this is just disappointing on so many levels. Basically a student builds a small electronics project and takes it to school for a demo with an engineering teacher. Teachers over react, principal(s) over react, and police officials arrest a 9th grader for learning something complicated... at school.

Teacher Fail
Ahmed brought his invention up to show her afterward. “She was like, it looks like a bomb,” he said.
Principle Fail
The bell rang at least twice, he said, while the officers searched his belongings and questioned his intentions. The principal threatened to expel him if he didn’t make a written statement, he said.
Police Fail
Police led Ahmed out of MacArthur about 3 p.m., his hands cuffed behind him and an officer on each arm. A few students gaped in the halls. He remembers the shocked expression of his student counselor — the one “who knows I’m a good boy.”
Ahmed was spared the inside of a cell. The police sent him out of the juvenile detention center to meet his parents shortly after taking his fingerprints.
