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."
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.
