Mardin Azad: No actually it’s a bomb.
Security Clerk: Funny it looks like, and is, a penis pump, your penis pump.
Mardin Azad: Yeah, but it’s a bomb……….. [sighs]
Security Clerk: Fair enough …[turns to colleague]….. get me the cavity search kit, terrorist sized. - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+49I can just imagine the thought process...
Security: "Sir, what is this?"
Amin: *thinking: *****, Mom's right next to me... quick... think... just call it anything... anything at all... just not a bomb - dear god don't call it a bomb*
"It's a bomb"
*... ****** - Sheir, on 10/12/2007, -10/+55Penis pumps on a mother ***** plane!
- jo42, on 10/12/2007, -6/+41He should of called it a Personal Enhancement Device.
- Lifestory, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37Well they serve the same purpose, they all blow things up.
- LucasVB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34The portuguese word for "pump" is the same as "bomb" ("bomba"). Perhaps the guy just spoke portuguese and didn't had enough vocabulary.
- lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Sadiq786
You are an extremely strange man who doesn't know how to use the reply button. - OwenX, on 10/12/2007, -9/+37That's it. I'm tired of these *****' pumps on this *****' plane!
- RatTrap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Wow what a moron.You dont say bomb at a airport.
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26He should have told the man it was his mothers bomb
- dagonweb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Well what can I say..
That sucks. - pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23life is going to suck in prison.. "what are you in for?"
- Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24bomidy bomb bomb Mcbomb!
- LouisC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17He's not a teenager, he's 29. Read the article. It said it was a black piece of a penis pump and it looked like a grenade.
- heavensblade23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Poor ***** guy. I honestly haven't the faintest idea what he could have said that wouldn't have gotten him in trouble with somebody. Especially with that name and nationality.
- eberts, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Come on guys, isn't jail a little extreme? Let's do everything we can to get this man off!
...uh, the hook. - meznak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Should HAVE... should *HAVE*
- mikev, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19What's your excuse?
- lunchbucket, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17You've never watched McGyver, apparently.
- shikaga, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17I am not suprised, since your mother was so cruel as to call you 0101010.
- joshv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14He claims he said 'it's a pump'. Considering that he has a thick Iraqi accent, and was speaking under his breath as his family was nearby, I believe him. In interviews after recent court hearing, he said he is well aware that you should never claim anything is a bomb - "I'm not that stupid", he said.
Think about it, with an accent 'bomb' and 'pump' can sounds very similar. Try both in an Inspector Cluso French accent :)
Will the people involved admit that they could have possibly misheard him? I doubt it, not after all this media hoopla, backing down would be quite an embarrassment. - RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15I can imagine this scene being in Arrested Development or something, perhaps happening to Tobias. This guy might've got off easy if this judge was still on the bench:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2331733 - LucasVB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14@NeoPlatonist: perhaps I wasn't clear enough. What I meant is that he might be a native Portuguese speaker and did not have enough English vocabulary to know the the word "pump" differs from "bomb" in English. So he used "bomb", guessing it worked the same way in English as it does in Portuguese. Also, the issue might arise with other languages besides Portuguese, but I can't tell.
- IrishLadd, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18I'd like to know why he packed a penis pump while traveling with his mother. What a Jackass.
- skunkman62, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12but a penis pump is da bomb.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10My question is why in the world was that a carry on item? Why would he even need it on the plane? Why didn't he just put it in his checked luggage?
- daevyd, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Can you make a bomb out of a penis pump?
- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The difference is, he chose to put the pump in his bag. He is responsible for it, and the consequences of having it. He obviously would have been far better off saying it was his pump, and having the talk with his mom than saying it is a bomb.
Think about it:
1 day of ackward coversation with your mom
3 years in federal pound me in the arse prison
Which would you pick? - mikeon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10You can make a bomb out of anything ;P just need the right ingredients and tools.
- macl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I was about to explain the same point. The Spanish translation for "bomb" and "pump" is just the same, "bomba".
Dunno a word about arab, though. Maybe the guy simply had a little mistake. Someone should explain this to airport authorities.
On the other hand, I can't imagine why would anyone need a penis enlarger pump... while travelling with your mother. Maybe they...? arrrgh! :D - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11What! What the ***** are you talking about!
Security - "Ahhh Mr Amin the xray has shown up what appears to be a handgrenade in your luggage"
Mardin Azad Amin - "Uhhh, Uhhh yes it is bomb"
Profiling? Like the way Iraninans love the Israelies or like in the way all white people are infidels? - meznak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8But, with the right tools, who needs a penis pump?
- carve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@betobeto: I think you're missing the point of the Darwin awards. This guy is still in the gene pool.
- stagecrafty, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Three years in jail for being a dumbass at the airport with a penis pump? This guy is in for some rough times.
- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"What's in your bag?"
"It's a bomb."
Right... White, black, brown, yellow, red, green, purple, whatever; that might raise a little suspicion... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Why would you need a penis pump in your hand luggage on a plane.
There must be more going on here than I can possibly imagine.
Surely, if you had a need for this, you'd at least put it in checked luggage. - diggduggjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He made 2 mistakes, not shipping the thing and saying it was a bomb. Of course with shipping he would still have Turkey inspecting it on the other end. However, this is the new America where no privacy is awarded you when they question you. He should have been taken to a private room to discuss it. I think that there should be more public service announcements educating people that they should pack nothing they would not want to explain in a public setting with your mom next to you.
However, you could say humans problems with sexuality is partly to blame. In a sane world, it would be embarrassing NOT to have a sex toy with you. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10whats wrong with that?i've done that lots of times..
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Hopefully that's just a pathetic attempt at a South Park reference. The Chinpokemon episode.
- Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is that a bomb in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
- tulchan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Anything but bomb dude. He could have said it was for a friend!
That always works - doesn't it! :-) - Soldan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the function of the the device is obvious so the security personel did not really need to ask what it was ..
what it was is a abuse of power.
my buddy worked security at the winter olympics a few years back. he discovered that if you kicked the metal detector it would go off...so he spent his time feeling up hot girls...
the security personel should be held up to a higher standard... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4his plan was to enhance himself in the bathroom then use his penis as a blunt weapon
- suicidal-kid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Now not only his mom knows what it really is, but now everyone (not really, but you know what I mean) knows. He dug him self into a 100 foot hole. 400 if he is convicted.
- sindrit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5But now at least his mother thinks he's a terrorist, not a pervert.
- NeoPlatonist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Why would you speak portuguese to a security guard in O'hare?
- razarizvi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3P.S. Like in Judaism and Catholicism, as far as I know Islam also forbids masturbation. Not sure though if that's what this is used for.
- ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I can't belive people like this exist on Digg....
