An Iraqi man who had claimed that an airport security guard misheard him saying bomb, was Wednesday cleared of all the charges against him. The incident occurred at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, when a guard at security check point reportedly thought that a sexual device in Mardin Amin's backpack was actually a bomb.

Mardin Amin had claimed that he actually told the guard the small, black object was a "pump," as in a penis pump. Amin was detained over felony disorderly conduct charges and released on $75,000 bond.

However on Wednesday, following the lead of the Transportation Safety Administration, prosecutors at Cook County circuit court concluded that the matter did not warrant prosecution, Cook County state's attorney spokesman John Gorman told the AP.

Amin's attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke, who was not reached for comments, had earlier said that her client was embarrassed to explain the object in front of his mother, who was traveling with him, so he whispered which the guard misunderstood, and thought he said "bomb."

O'Neill-Burke also explained that Amin has a thick accent and like some other Arabic speakers he too has trouble distinguishing the sounds "p" and "b."
