TX you are correct about adding explosives to a slightly modified phone and you have a bomb because most of the components are there. A power source, and a switch to activate the initiator and the explosives. Just adding explosives to a shoe or a toy water gun, your hyperbolic examples, would not make them a bomb without other components to make it explode.
King if my kid took something to school that looked like that I would expect him to be questioned, and when I saw what it looked like I would ask him wth were you thinking. I would start by asking "what happened and what did my kid do....not what did you do to my kid"
There are a lot more facts to this case available if anyone cares to look into them, but I'm afraid no one cares we have come to a point where we would rather just be killed than to risk hurting someone's feelings.
