Well his mom finds out and starts asking him how the hell he got the idea. So his little sister (Who had something against me for some reason) starts saying all this garbage like "Oh yeah, Pete told him how to do that, he is going to bring it into school and plant it in the bathroom blah blah blah." So naturally his mom calls the cops on me and next thing I know, the cops are at my place asking my dad to sign this form so they can search the house. All they found was some powder, a plastic tube and a few bb guns under my bed. Since they found no bomb, no evidence that I was trying to hurt anyone and I had no criminial history, they arrest me for having bb guns while under the age of 16 and they seized my computer hard drive for "psycological evaluation" lol. It was quite a good laugh. Anyway the point is, if I had finished the bomb, things probably would have gotten blown way out of proportion (no pun intended). I mean, what normal 14 year old boy doesn't want to see random things blow up?
