I thought this story from FoxNews was kind of humorous.

Authorities say a San Diego middle school was evacuated when a student's science project was mistaken for a bomb.

A Fire-Rescue spokesman says a concerned vice principal prompted the evacuation of Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School yesterday afternoon.

He says an arson team took photos and X-rays of the empty plastic bottle with wires and determined it was harmless.

He says the 11-year-old was trying to build a motion detector with instructions he found on the Internet and parts he bought online. His parents helped him buy the parts. They say they didn't realize the experiment looked threatening.

This is a kid who needs some attention. Any kid who is trying to build a motion detector at 11 could be the next Thomas Edison. I hope that this experience doesn't discourage him from continuing his experiments. If he gets the education that he deserves, we could be reading about his inventions on the web in another 10 years.
