That's Not a Penis Pump, It's a Bomb!
nbc5.com — Mardin Azad Amin found himself in a tight squeeze last week when security at O'Hare Airport discovered a suspicious-looking object in his luggage. Rather than admit it was a penis pump, because his mother was standing next to him, he told security the object was a bomb. Now he faces felony disorderly conduct and up to three years in prison.

- shikaga, on 10/12/2007, -19/+6Anthraxx, ever heard that bad is good baby?
- 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"
*... ******
- radicaldementia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+106What an idiot. Of all the things you could possibly say in that situation, calling it a bomb is probably the worst one.
- steal_apps01, on 10/12/2007, -21/+7I concur.
- Sadiq786, on 10/12/2007, -62/+2bUND
You are an extremely shallow and pedantic man who needs a higher self-esteem.
If you knew a thing about the war, or anything about the Middle East for that matter; you wouldn't be talking about jihad. And if you knew any thing about September eleventh, you wouldn't be talking about crashing into things.
Edit: I'm brown, and I know that I have a larger penis than your mothers pussy; yet I wouldn't mention it unless your fagged ass started to talk about the size of an other man's penis. - Automatic, on 10/12/2007, -20/+2@UnrealAlex, you know as a favor. maybe mums penis was going limp
- betobeto, on 10/12/2007, -20/+10Instant Darwin Award nominee.
- lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Sadiq786
You are an extremely strange man who doesn't know how to use the reply button. - 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.
- bbabics, 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?
- 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. - DCMacHead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ UnrealAlex
So you normally pack one?
- 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.
- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Should HAVE... should *HAVE*
- swerdna, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4@meznak
I wish i could digg your comment more than once.
- bUND, on 10/12/2007, -94/+11haha, ackbar has a small penis.
Now we know why all these arab ***** are jihading and crashing into *****.....
Arabs got small ***** and they are jealous of our huge American genetalia.- faulkner, on 10/12/2007, -32/+8thanks for the insight, freud.
- scoot87, on 10/12/2007, -30/+8@bund
You sir are a small cocked idiot - mikev, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19What's your excuse?
- ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I can't belive people like this exist on Digg....
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Hopefully that's just a pathetic attempt at a South Park reference. The Chinpokemon episode.
- caliyankee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3LOL. I love bUND. Every day I can count on an irrational, racist, zenophobic, or otherwise incindiary comment coming straight out of his ass. bUND, thank you for making my workday easier.
I just hope he's not serious...
- 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 - 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.
- 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? - 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. - beotch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Actually the 3 years in prison would look good, but they printed his name in the news papers for his mom to read. He'll probably get 6 months, because it's such a pathetic story.
- 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.
- daevyd, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Can you make a bomb out of a penis pump?
- mikeon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10You can make a bomb out of anything ;P just need the right ingredients and tools.
- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8But, with the right tools, who needs a penis pump?
- joshv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yes, 'pump' pronounced in a thick foreign accent could very well sound like 'bomb'.
- Sheir, on 10/12/2007, -10/+55Penis pumps on a mother ***** plane!
- 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.
- 0101010, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10whats wrong with that?i've done that lots of times..
- shikaga, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17I am not suprised, since your mother was so cruel as to call you 0101010.
- Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3OMG, I just about spit soda out my nose reading that shikaga. Maybe it's just because it's 5:30 am and I'm still up... but very nicely done :)
- dagonweb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Well what can I say..
That sucks. - RatTrap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Wow what a moron.You dont say bomb at a airport.
- Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24bomidy bomb bomb Mcbomb!
- beotch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I know this arbitrary ***** rule, so I don't do that. But why couldn't you be talking about girls from the hood, "that one is just the bomb dude!"? The sad reason is that airports are filled with freaked out mental patients that are so scared of the extremely remote chance of death they would willingly be probed in the ass to reassure themselves they were not in fact carrying bombs on the plane. Thought crimes.
- joshv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3He claims he said 'pump' in a thick iraqi accent. It is more than plausible that he was misheard as saying 'bomb'.
- djpnuemo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4hahaha, i find this really funny.
the dumb people in this world! - BBX25, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4I'm really surprised the officer didn't recognize what it was; penis pumps have such a design that they can't really get confused with anthing else; most notably the large cylindrical funnel , and also the rubber hose and bulb. Most incendiary devices that I've seen in TV, movies, and games look absolutely nothing like penis pumps. Maybe I should watch more.
However, this was a horribly stupid move on that teenager's part.- 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.
- VRFour, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5He isn't a teenager. He's 29 years old.
edit: LouisC beat me to it - lunchbucket, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17You've never watched McGyver, apparently.
- Automatic, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3pump your penis much?
- OwenX, on 10/12/2007, -9/+37That's it. I'm tired of these *****' pumps on this *****' plane!
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26He should have told the man it was his mothers bomb
- 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.
- icepick314, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5now he thought felony charge was better than being embarrased by his mom?
he deserves to go to the jail, that idiot...
now he'll have all the fun in jail with his penis pump....- betobeto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3...if Bubba doesn't go for it (and him), that is.
- pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23life is going to suck in prison.. "what are you in for?"
- wowbagger, 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.- mikeon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It might get stolen if you leave it in checked luggage or might get damaged.
- 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.
- NeoPlatonist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Why would you speak portuguese to a security guard in O'hare?
- 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.
- 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
- thatsiebguy, on 10/12/2007, -15/+8Hmm.. this smells of racial profiling, particularly given his name...
- kazem, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4yep.
- benjaminhk, 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? - theone3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3"Profiling? Like the way Iraninans love the Israelies or like in the way all white people are infidels?"
Yes, just like you did just then. That's what we're talking about. - 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...
- 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.
- Craz1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6lol, so he thought his mom would be more impressed/proud of him by implying he was a terrorist? ... some people...
- Demono, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I know a lot of people just have the "It'll teach him not to do it again" type of logic when it comes to prison sentences, but doesn't it seems a bit extreme to put a guy in jail for lying out of embarrassment? If you have ever lied because you were too scared to admit the truth about something, even something trivial, do you think you deserve up to 3 years in prison for it if its only effect was fear, similar to something you'd experience watching a horror movie?
- 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. - skunkman62, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12but a penis pump is da bomb.
- ShadySpace, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5He had two choices: Tell the truth and be mildly embarrased in front of his mother or go to jail for a number of years and have his mother find out, anyway. Hmm, yes, I can see where this would be a hard decision.
- phildo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Too bad Carl Monday wasn't covering this one.
- kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Wow I wonder what his mom thinks of him having a bomb, because that is somehow better then a penis pump!
- diggensack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wow that's funny although the fact that he's really facing jail for his stupidity is CRAZY!
- 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! :-) - samtajain79, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1God knows what happened on these days.
http://www.articles-hub.com - Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is that a bomb in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
- gd007, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1i am sure he regrets travelling with his mother.
- sindrit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5But now at least his mother thinks he's a terrorist, not a pervert.
- mrmatchgame, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is too Funny. First a Judge using a pump in court and now this. There is a site that tells you what to do if your are carrying a pump, either ask a Male searcher to go though your stuff or air mail it.
- FoolsRun, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Of course in the case of a... dildo... we have to use the indefinite article... "A" dildo... not "YOUR" dildo.
--
M - razarizvi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The irony of it all is that now the ENTIRE world knows about it. Poor thing. How is he ever gonna get married. Not that I know what a penis pump looks like ...no really i dont ...i would have said it was some medical device i was taking for a friend, end of story.
- 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.
- Raydr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Actually, the guy said "es una bomba".
Which in Spanish means pump.
(and bomb). - bUND, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2@Sadiq786
Hey hey hey, I was JUST MAKING A JOKE !!!
NO NEED TO GET OFFENDED......although I must say, is there some psychological reason you reacted in the "jumpy" manner that you did?
Please do not jihad my house tonight, I know how you people get when you perceive yourselves to be offended....
Nice middle-eastern man/guy/dude........heh.
Calm down.....SIT......calm down !!!!
Good boy !!!- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wow... way to make friends...
You are the type of American that makes me embarrassed to be American.
(for the record embarrassed != ashamed)
- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wow... way to make friends...
- bUND, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Apparently, your community college courses did not teach you the concept of "Sarcasm"
so allow me to break it down for you:
Pronunciation: 'sär-"ka-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: French or Late Latin; French sarcasme, from Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut
1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm
synonym see WIT - TaranisSaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's not a bomb, that's for my schlong!
- nanobug, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Retard! Hopefully, the judge will be have a little bit of sense and let this retard go with a warining...
- page33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Moron.
- BevansDesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think I'd probably say the same thing. :)
- dsherod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He thought he was giving a product endorsement by saying, "that's da bomb!"
- thkfceblkhrt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this is *****..if this man goes to jail we have a problem with the justice system.
- birdswitharms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does anyone know what brand it was? I have been looking for "the bomb" penis pump.
- 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... - tracespeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Given the circumstances of this specific case they should just drop the whole thing, complete waste of money and time for everyone involved (which is everyone since if he goes to jail we have to pay the tax dollars to keep him there). It doesn't matter at all if he actually said bomb or pump, it's a moot point, the whole thing is absurd.
