Not to me, it doesn't. Where is the explosive?

But you are missing a key point. This is not just any school. It is a specialized engineering school staff by people who know all about electronics. These are the last people you could fool into thinking it is a bomb. You cannot fool experts with a crude fake or a stage prop. On a few of occasions I have met people who claimed they could speak Japanese, when they only knew a few phrases. I spoke to them in Japanese. It took me only a few seconds to establish that they were faking it. - Jed
