Your "sane jurisdiction" might not be the same as others. Personally, I don't think experimenting with explosive devices on school grounds is any more appropriate than having a gun on school grounds. I don't mind zero tolerance laws within reason. If a student forgets their hunting rifle in their car and tries to do the right thing I'm ok with giving them a pass. But a bomb is a bomb - hard to spin that to 'I didn't know any better'.
