Woman left embarrassed as airport security mistakes her power bank for something naughty
In a rather embarrassing incident at an airport, a woman's power bank caused quite a stir when security mistook it for something entirely different. The humorous yet mortifying experience unfolded when she was flagged for a hand luggage check. This is reported by SSP.
Initially, security authorities suspected her power bank, meant for charging her phone, to be a knife. The situation took an even more awkward turn when they daringly inquired if she had a "self-pleasuring device" concealed in her backpack, leaving her utterly horrified. Little did they know that it was, in fact, her Blizzcon exclusive Diablo III Soulstone Power Bank.
To share the cringe-worthy ordeal, the woman took to Twitter/X, posting an image of the incriminating item and lamenting the lasting haunting effect the incident would have on her memory. The viral post showcased the power bank, an interesting release associated with the popular video game Diablo III.
Numerous Twitter/X users found humor in the situation, commiserating with the woman's embarrassingly memorable encounter. One user humorously commented, "That is pretty funny. Sounds mortifying." Agreeing, the original poster responded, "10/10 Will haunt me for a while."
In a lighthearted exchange, another user couldn't help but jokily suggest that the security officer had secretly hoped for her to confirm the presence of a knife, to save them from asking the awkward follow-up question. Echoing the sentiment, a third user revealed their own familiar predicament, sharing, "Yo, the exact thing happened to me at the airport with the same power bank. They pulled me aside and said, 'What is this, it looks awkward.'"
For those interested, the Diablo III Soulstone Power Bank can still be purchased through select online retailers in the United States. Apart from its practical functionality, the item boasts an illuminating translucent Soulstone, making for an eye-catching replica that effortlessly garners attention whether used in the office or on the go.
