Chewbacca, TSA Battle Over Lightsaber

Returning home after Denver ComicCon, actor Peter Mayhew, known for his role as Chewbacca, had a bit of a dustup with the TSA. The 69 year old actor, had a rough time getting his light saber-shaped cane past airport security.

The actor turned to Twitter for help.

The 7 foot 2 actor needs a special cane, and had this one specially made. I have to wonder how he got it to Denver in the first place without issues?
