No weapons, just well-endowed

A man said to have the world’s largest penis was stopped by security at an airport after guards feared he had a suspect package hidden in his pants.

Jonah Falcon was stopped at San Francisco International Airport, USA, as he went through the usual security.

The well-endowed 41-year-old was frisked and had white powder sprinkled on his pants to check for traces of explosives after TSA agents interpreted a ‘very noticeable’ bulge in his clothing as a potential ‘biological threat’.

Falcon aroused suspicions at San Francisco Airport on his way to New York.

Guards

 “I had my ’stuff’ strapped to the left. I wasn’t erect at the time. One of the guards asked if my pockets were empty and I said ‘Yes.’ I said, ’It’s my d***,” Falcon told reporters.

“He gave me a pat down but made sure to go around my penis with his hands.

They even put some powder on my pants, probably a test for explosives. I found it amusing,” he added.

Falcon was then led through an X-Ray body scanner and passed a metal detector before another guard stopped him and asked if he had some sort of ‘growth’.

The former computer games reviewer gained media attention after appearing in a documentary in which men were interviewed in the nude about their penises. He has since appeared in other documentaries and radio programmes.

He also gained additional coverage after a magazine did a feature story on him.

His large size has previously caused trouble with airport security screening checkpoints, which prompt tertiary screening.

He said: “I’m just going to wear bike shorts from now on. That way, they’ll know.”

Falcon’s penis is reportedly 9.5 inches (24 cm) in length when flaccid and 13.5 inches (34 cm) in length when erect.
