Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Make a clock, go to jail

[A. Nonamus]

Jeff, that is exactly the problem I have with the incident... none of the 
adult educators and administrators who saw the device was savvy enough to 
realize that this was merely a commercial clock partly disassembled and 
placed in a high-tech-looking briefcase. It's fairly obvious from the photo 
that there is no significant quantity of any commonly-available explosive 
present.

However, Ahmed and his parents should have realized two things: 1. Even 
ignoring the race/ethnicity issue, the combination of endemic ignorance and 
Hollywood influence make installing any kind of clock into a briefcase, or 
putting one into a somewhat home-made-looking semi-disassembled state with 
electronic components, a very poor choice for show-and-tell in the current 
world climate of terrorism. 2. All else aside, the condition of the 
device should rightly be regarded as dangerous (line cord connection with 
no entry hole or bushing, chunky tape-wrapped splice, loose components 
dangling by their wires and easily moving about including the heavy, 
sharp-edged and and conductive power transformer, etc.)

Also, what's the extraneous knotted black wire running through the latch on 
the outside of the case for? It could easily be misconstrued as a 
tamper-trigger or dead man switch.

I'm about half-way there. No problems at all. Installing the cathode 
resistors is just a little tedious, but I'm almost finished. I have the new 
repeater working with the second version clock now.

I don't think it's recommended, but I used headers under the power supply 
to make it removable on the first MOD-6. 

I'm confident that the clock will never be used as a bomb timer.
