Check the device, treat the device as a bomb until you're sure it's not--yes.
Arrest the kid, put the kid in custody, prosecute the kid even though the device is proven harmless--no.
Honestly, I don't think they could've come up with a better way to push the kid towards actually becoming a terrorist if they'd sat down and worked it out on their fingers for two weeks.
Alas, it's a natural draw. The opportunity to take the sanctioned position that, "I'm smarter than you, I know more than you, you have to listen and do as I say" has a tendency to draw this type.
He demonstrated powered flight several years before the Wright brother at an air show in Paris in plane called: 14 Bis.
According to all the references I can find, that flight happened in 1906, three years after Kitty Hawk. Many people who were unaware of the Wright Brothers (afraid of having their ideas stolen, the Wrights mostly avoided publicity) hailed him as the first man to fly, but the Wrights did manage it beforre him.
A functional, reliable watch is dirt cheap and has no moving parts.
True, but I admit to disliking digital watches. I'm willing to pay a little more to get a watch with moving hands. Thousands of dollars never made any sense to me, though. This, of course, is ridiculous (and manages to be digital while having moving parts more complex than most watches with hands).
That's because of how they built it--digital display, but physical flip panels to display the number, have to run a stepper motor to advance the display, plus a seconds display that's actually a nylon belt driven by its own motor...it all adds up to a hell of power drain.
I'd never clone myself, unless terminally ill, for this exact reason. It is all but guaranteed that I'd attempt to off other myself and assume the identity.
Stuff and nonsense. A clone of you is simply an artificially produced identical twin (with an age difference). No more, no less. It is no more you than your identical twin would be.

Getting a burn spikes the risk way up, but short of a burn, yes, it pretty much is cumulative. And yes, getting a tan does increase your risk of cancer, and general skin degradation. And the more you do it, the worse the risk grows.
Growing forests is not a zero-sum game. Yes, when a tree dies and rots, the carbon in it largely (but not entirely) returns to the air. But if I have X acres more forest, I have locked up the carbon that's in those X acres of forest. The carbon that is released by dying trees gets balanced by the new trees that replace them.

Look at how well banning pornography has done.

A make-sure-the-oligarchs-have-all-the-profitable-bits regulator. They call it an anti-monopoly regulator 'cause that fits on the stationery.

OP talked about his wife, who was a public school teacher. They don't get a lot of grad student assistants.

Five will get you ten that they had a permissions problem and instead of fixing it right, they "solved" it by running the webserver as root.

Wiping the phone does you no good because they already have your picture--the phone sent it to them.
Very well, citations you shall have.

Sounds to me that a glass of milk a day would've done you all a world of good.
