Mardin Amin faces three years in jail for “felony disorderly conduct” resulting from his attempt to carry a penis pump onto an airplane. He was traveling with his mother when a Department of Homeland Security officer noticed a strange object in his bag and asked him what it was. Not wanting his mom to know what he was packing, he leaned over and whispered “It’s a pump.” The DHS agent heard “It’s a bomb” and these days that’s enough to lock someone away.

I wonder how many years in jail I would get for reenacting my favorite scence from Spinal Tap.
