Chicago, IL -- Prosecutors dropped all charges Wednesday against a man who claimed an airport security guard misheard him as saying he had a bomb when he told her he was carrying a sexual device in his backpack.
Mardin Amin, who appeared in a Cook County court, has said he told the guard at O'Hare International Airport last month that the object was a ``pump'' - as in a penis pump. The guard misunderstood him as saying ``bomb,'' his attorney has said.
Prosecutors chose to follow the lead of the Transportation Safety Administration, which recently concluded that the matter did not warrant prosecution, said Cook County state's attorney spokesman John Gorman.
Amin, 29, of suburban Chicago, had been charged with felony disorderly conduct and faced up to three years in prison if convicted.
His attorney, Eileen O'Neill-Burke, did not immediately return a message Wednesday.
She explained earlier that her client was embarrassed to explain the object to the security guard in front of his mother, who was traveling with him - so he whispered.
