> it really looks like he just moved the guts of an old clock into a new casing. He didn't really design any circuitry at all
He's 14 years old and learning electronics—I'm not sure what light this sheds on anything?

All it takes is 15 minute to look into the political history of the kids father and the nature of the clock that he "built" to realize something is amiss.
I do think even orchestrated the police took it a little far, however, probably not $15m far.
1. He got a bit overexcited about his electronic puttering.
2. something goes here
3. It must be a scam.
I'm not sure what goes in the blank for you, but man, it must be a doozy.
The internals of another clock were put into a box. That's not electronic puttering.
Then maybe you're a lot better at electronics than I am, but that would have qualified for me when I was 14.
Well, first off: you don't know what he actually did unless you see it up close. A couple of grainy photos won't show much.
And secondly: No, absolutely not. Unequivocally not.
Obviously Ahmed was aware enough of this to try to make the briefcase look less suspicious by wrapping it in wires which is generally how I try to make electronics in a brief case less suspicious.
A few years ago in the winter I had an issue with the electronics in my car so coming home from Reno, I pulled the climate control panel out of my car so I could manually connect the wires to make the heat go.
I ended up going across the border like this, and ended up explaining to the border guard the wiring of the car to assure her that nothing was amiss.
The border guards suspicions were naturally raised because most people don't even know how to pull the panel out let alone jerry rig their own climate control system.
