It's a 14 year old kid. He wasn't demonstrating anything.
He took apart a clock, stuck in back in a different case, wanted to show his teacher that in a, I am guessing : "Hey look, I took all this apart, and managed not to destroy it"..
Honestly, this entire event shows me two things:
1. The jumps people make to crazy assumptions when faced with someone they don't like because of ideological reasons.
2. The low level of technological acumen/knowledge to assume that this is even similar to a dangerous device.
