When the teachers asked him what it was, Ahmed should have replied, "This, my darling, is a device. A device many men and many women have died to see, to understand, and to own. In many ways it is like one of your toys, but a toy for adults."

Except an organization that arrests a scrawny freshman nerd for building what's obviously a clock isn't exactly sane. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they double down and circle the wagons purely to spite the nationwide backlash they're about to receive.

Then in a perverse sense of justice, Ahmed's family has to pay for emotional damages incurred by the inept school admins and police officers.

I think you can do this in all states if they get arrested at school somehow? Something about the school being allowed to give police permission to interregate you maybe? Also, the charges at least have been dropped: http://www.dallasnews.com/news/comm...d-hoax-bomb.ece He still is suspended however.

I don't think you can, from what I remember, but it's like illegal searches in that there's no actual penalty for doing so unless you end up pushing charges, which I doubt they'll do.

I was under the impression they had prevented him from contacting them for quite a while, not just during the actual arrest part? I may have misunderstood something I read, though.
