Providing further proof that he’s part of an international ninja assassin squad made up of CEOs, Steve Jobs was reportedly detained at a Japanese airport for carrying a throwing star.

Bloomberg relays a report from Japan’s SPA! magazine that says Jobs was packing the weapon in his carry-on luggage in Kyoto during a “family vacation.”

Maintaining good form, an Apple spokesman denies the incident took place to Bloomberg:

“Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction. Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon.”
