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.

So, Amin, 29, handled the delicate situation this way: He told security the object was a bomb, Cook County prosecutors say. snip

In fact, Amin was trying to disguise the fact that the black object -- resembling a grenade -- was a component for a penis pump. snip

Amin eventually told investigators he'd lied about the object's true use because his mother was standing nearby when the object was discovered and he didn't want her to know about it, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said during a bond hearing last week.

6. My Mother

died when I was 11 (41 years ago.) I miss her everyday and wish she were around so I could do something embarrass her. I think she'd enjoy it. Although do 80 year old women get embarrassed about anything?

Look Ma, I'm a terrorist, not a masturbator!

3. People who have "problems" and plan for some fun on vacation

may just need to drive...

I can imagine how embarrassing it must be to have strangers poking around in your "intimate" accoutrements..

5. He must've been trying to be funny

Because I really doubt his mother would be more pleased to overhear he was carrying a bomb than to learn he had packed a penis pump. Sadly, it was an inappropriate way to defuse the situation. Heh.
