waitingmanMan tells security penis pump is bomb
United States 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 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'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 faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

So... he'd rather be thought of as a terrorist than as a man of lesser stature?
Meanwhile, in China...
Funeral strippers crackdown
A "funeral misdeeds" hotline has been set-up in China after a crackdown on hiring strippers to attract mourners, the state media agency reports.
Five striptease troupe bosses were arrested in east China's Jiangsu Province last week after "obscene performances" at a funeral, the Xinhua agency reported.
Strippers were once a common sight at funerals in the Donghai area, as local villagers believed more mourners increased the honour of the deceased, it reported.
The crackdown by authorities came after two troupes were invited to strip off at the funeral of a villager called Liang on August 16, the report said.
The agency said about 200 villagers, including children, rolled up to Liang's funeral.
Better-off families usually hired two troupes to make funerals "more bustling", it said.
After the arrests, local police issued notices banning stripping at funerals and gave a hotline number for people to report on funeral misdeeds, the report said.
The report said callers to the hotline were in line for a reward of about $50.
It's a mad mad mad mad world...
