College Students Are Shown Picture of Ahmed’s Clock. Can You Guess What They Thought It Was?

Students at George Mason University overwhelmingly thought Ahmed Mohamed’s homemade clock looked like a bomb, according to a new video published online.

Dan Joseph, with the conservative Media Research Center, visited the campus just outside D.C. and showed students a photo of the controversial clock. He then asked them what they thought it looked like.

“I’m going to show you this and you tell me what you think it is — the first thing that pops in your head,” Joseph told the students.

How do any of these people know what a bomb looks like? I served in the army and toured a number of military museums. A case with tangled electronics in it looks nothing like any of the explosive devices or replicas I have seen. Maybe an expert with IED training could offer an opinion.

LTMG, how did Ahmed know it looked like one? He knew it did and he said as much.

Also, remember the Soviets?
”The types of booby-trap toys encountered include those resembling pens, harmonicas, radios or matchboxes, and little bombs shaped like a bird. This type of bomb, consisting of two wings, one flexible and the other rigid, in the shape and colors of a bird, explodes when the flexible wing is touched.”NYT

I imagine movies play a role in forming ideas as to what a bomb looks like.

Ever see a picture of a suitcase nuke?

I will stay respectful but you should do some homework .

It’s at your fingertips.
