These topics bring the tin foil wearers out in droves. No, the government isn't cracking down on the intelligence of youth, it requires it to progress and grow. I don't recall any black SUVs outside my door when I built an alarm clock that had selective electronic outputs for my school project. Hell, my teachers docked marks because I didn't take it far enough and they felt I could add more features and better design.

You're contradicting yourself there. When you were young, it was fine. This chap does basically the exact same thing, and he's arrested.

If my 17-year-old brother did the same thing, he wouldn't be arrested.

But my 17-year-old brother doesn't live under a racist cloud of "probably a terrorist."
