According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Jonah Falcon, 41, was stopped by airport security at San Francisco International when his 9.5 inch penis (13.5 when erect) was checked for explosives.
"They wanted to know if I had something in my pockets, and when I said no, they asked if I had some sort of growth," he said.
When he replied that it was just his penis, they "checked the area around it" but didn't frisk him too severely, he said. They also wiped his hands to check for explosive powder.
Falcon said the delay was mostly amusing to him and only delayed him for about 5 minutes. He said it was the first time his penis had caused a security concern.
