Apologies if you’ve seen this already. From the AP, August 23 :
CHICAGO (AP) — Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn’t want her to know he’d packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey.
So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.
Madin Azad Amin was stopped by officials on Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.
When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.
He later told officials he’d lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn’t want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said.
In a related story, Marlins president David Samson has been placed on TSA’s “Do Not Fly” list.
i did happen to see this in the sun times and it came up in conversation at a party last weekend. a friend and i came to the conclusion that he didn’t want his mother to see that he had exchanged the penis pump she had bought him for his birthday for a fancier model.
