"But are those Penis Pumps Swedish-made, baby?"

CHICAGO — 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, 29, of Skokie, was stopped Aug. 16 at O'Hare International Airport 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.
He's been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.
Amin's attorney told a Cook County judge Wednesday that Amin whispered that the component was a "pump." The guard misunderstood, and thought he said "bomb," according to defense attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke.
"He told her it's a pump," O'Neill-Burke said. "He's standing with his mother. Of course he's not going to shout this out."
However, Judge Gerald Winiecki decided there was sufficient evidence for the case to move forward after the female security guard testified that she heard Amin "clearly" say the word bomb.
Amin is charged with felony disorderly conduct, which could bring a three-year prison sentence if he's convicted. Amin is due back in court Sept. 13
He told the Chicago Sun-Times after the hearing that security officials did not give him a chance to explain the misunderstanding, that he would never use the word "bomb" while going through a security checkpoint, and does not consider a penis pump an unusual object to own.
"It's normal," he said. "Half of America they use it."
We are here to *clap* Pump you up!!!
Normally I am a stickler for toeing the line, but in this case I think this guy should get a pass -- there is no prison sentence in the world that can be worse than the embarrassment this guy is going through knowing the entire world knows his "secret".
And lest my fellow FReepers think ill of me, let me say that this prejudice has nothing to do with our shortcomings...it is the fault of this boy's fellow travelers who would as soon kill you as look at you, and who also have the wrong kind of name. Tough toenails there, Sonny!
If Madin lives another 30 to 40 years, he may need a bomb of a pump.
Me too. And there really ought to be procedures in place where people are taken aside if they're going to be asked questions about specific items in their luggage. Some itesm might reveal health conditions or a reason for the trip that the person doesn't want made public. And for crying out loud, what real terrorist trying to get a bomb onto a plane is going to answer a screener's question about an item in his luggage by saying it's a bomb?
Maybe he was going to help the Bears.

Half of America they use it.........I don't think so. I didn't know such a thing as a pump for men existed. I don't think it's quite that widely used.
Ick, Ick, and Ick.
Only a Muslim mother would prefer her son to hava a bomb rather than a sex toy.
He said that when you strap it on, "It's da bomb!"
Why not just bring Viagra?
Or the generic Mycoxaphloppen...
"Half of America they use it."
Would that mean all American men? LOL
Penis Pump:Early American
But two paragraphs earlier in the article it said he admitted that he had lied because he didn't want his mother to know it was a penis pump.
Lol, what a doofus defense attorney he's got!
Rule #1: Do not put sex toys in your carry-on bag.
Rule #2: See Rule #1.
They would really go ape on him then, look at Rush.
If that thing pulled your eyeballs through your penis, would it not be an eyeball pump?
Well, she knows now.
Did he get off?
I must belong to the, uh...bigger half.
Interesting patina.
Half of America would be every man in America... well, except for me, which, conveniently, leaves room for The Hildebeast, who I'm pretty sure is a proponent and user of a penis pump.
You don't have to fly commercial like the rest of us; you use your Star Trek Transporter Unit for all your transportation needs.
An enterprising person might want to get the Middle Eastern franchise for this product. Other, less enterprising persons would then be wise to buy a lot of stock in the company.
Is that a bomb in your pocket,or ya just glad to see me ???
Madin Azad Amin, 29, of Skokie. Huh? Something about that isn't right.
I proudly reside in the other 1/2. What about women?
Posted yesterday.
I had never heard of one until the Austin Powers movie.
He should have just told them it was a bottle of gatoraide.
...course then they would have made him sip it.
Thank you! I'll be here all week!
When a fella has 72 virgins, he's going to need some help.
Okay, sorry, naive. Exactly what is said pump and what is it used for?
I canna do it! I don't have the power-r-r-r-r!
Reminds me of the couple whose vibrator got turned to ON in their luggage. The buzzing made airport staff investigate. The couple was "embarrassed" and sued for the humiliation caused by having the airport people stand around laughing. Of course, when they sued it became public knowledge and half the country laughed at them.
Skokie? Oy veh!
A vacuum pump, with a cylindrical chamber that allows atmospheric induced, uh, "swelling", for those that may have, oh, shall we say "non-issues", as it were...
A cocktail weiner that can stand at attention for hours is still just a cocktail weiner. He apparently was looking to became a ballpark frank.
"It blowed up real good!"
Hand rubbed.
Good plan. Now not only Mom knows, the whole world knows.
I have heard rumors and stories about those men being under endowed.
so is it for:
1) pleasure
2) increasing size
3) overcoming ED
4) some combination of the above
5) some perverse thing i haven't conceived of?
