Last week, TSA agents in Denver detained actor Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies, as they reportedly attempted to confiscate his light saber-shaped cane, which the 7-foot, 2-inch actor requires to walk.

@thewookieeroars So you got stopped by TSA, they checked it, you moved on. What are you whining about?

What is the big deal? The TSA is just trying to keep people safe. For all that they know, that could be a real light saber and he might be one of those white American Jihadist convert's who would use it to cut right through the cabin door like butter and chop the pilots heads off. TSA is just being SMART and CAREFUL! Yeah, that's it!

They say we live in a free country yet we lose more freedoms every day.

Someone in the comments mention's Pre-TSA, the idiot, halfwitted security guards at an airport tried to confiscate a Medal of Honor from a man who received it in WWII, because those morons thought it was a kung fu throwing star

as for Chewbacca did they really think it was a real ligthsaber or something.......i'd be saying you like to watch movies, Go check out some movies called Star Wars.

They're doing it for our safety after all. This is the protection we get.
