“Prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately did not want her to know he had 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 lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he did not want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said. Amin has been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. Amin faces up to three years in prison if convicted.” — Fox News (US)

It is difficult to understand how, in this day and age, any young man would prefer to face airport security with an explosive device than admit to his mother that he uses a penis pump. It implies that his mother is as appalled by sex as she is impressed by jihad, and that the guy would rather face three years in prison than parental scorn for the rest of his life. He must have one tough mom.

Still, though, you’d think that he could come up with a better lie. He could have called it an air pump for a bicycle tire, or perhaps one of those manual pumps you can use to make espresso on a stove. Anything would be better than calling it a bomb. For that matter, the very fact that he thought to call it a bomb suggests that there may really be something suspicious about the guy. It’s like a Freudian slip. Out of the million devices he could name, he thought of a bomb? Why does he have bombs on his mind?

At any rate, if there is any silver lining to this story, it is the fact that the guy apparently needs a sexual aid when spending time with his mother — which is to say that at least he’s not sexually aroused by her. He doesn’t suffer from an Oedipal complex. He may be dumb or suicidal or whatever you think his excuse implies, but otherwise he may well be psychologically healthy.
