Recently, a high school student named Ahmed Mohamed removed the outer casing from a commercial alarm clock. He then placed the remaining parts in a pencil box, took the box to school, and claimed to have build a clock. Since the clock resembled a bomb, a teacher eventually started wondering if it might be a "hoax bomb." When Ahmed wouldn't respond straightforwardly to questions, police were called. Still unresponsive with police, Ahmed was arrested. Now Ahmed is a national hero.
