Due to this experience, Jobs reportedly said that he would never visit the country again.But, 
Apple quickly denied the tabloid report. According to company spokesman, Steve Dowling, “Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction.” He added, “Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon.”

The passenger had to discard the weapons since the airport have common boarding arrangements for commercial and private jet passengers.
