May 10, 2013 Saudi Air Traveller Arrested With Pressure Cooker and Deported  Customs arrests Saudi traveler with pressure cooker Federal agents arrested a suspicious traveler Hussain Al Khawahir with an altered Saudi Arabian passport at Detroit Metro Airport over the weekend after discovering a pressure cooker in his luggage. He was charged with giving false statements to federal agents and possessing an altered passport. Authorities said he lied about that the pressure cooker was for his nephew to make middle eastern food. By June 9, the Saudi Gazette reported his lawyer said that criminal charges were dismissed after 4 weeks in prison as it was just a language misunderstanding, with no evidence of wrongdoing, but he was to go immediately into the custody of US Customs and Border protection for removal because of the passport and failure to answer questions candidly.

Alternate theory: don't bring pressure cookers in your luggage, especially if you are from Saudi Arabia with an altered passport. They won't understand.
