Those aren't reasonable people, those are reactionary people who don't understand what they are looking at, and that is fine. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.
There is a problem when a school doesn't have ONE teacher who could look at a homemade clock and see there was no danger because it has no source of explosive. There is a problem with police profiling a 14 year old kid and there is a problem with a school that would suspend a student for being too smart for them.

Does anyone else find it strange that the picture of the clock was released after the picture of the boy? I sense that he was put up to this because it looks like a bomb right out of a Hollywood movie. It's in a metal suitcase and has a big red face for a countdown

those are probably just the parts he had around from scavenging. I mean for fuck's sake, what kind of bomb requires an electrical outlet?

Any reason able person would have an extreme reaction to that device, whether its plugged in or not
