TSA agents stop Chewbacca actor over light saber (He was cleared for flight, thought it was funny)

Thought it was a funny story...

DENVER (AP) — Not even Chewbacca and his light saber get a free pass with airport security before being cleared to travel. Transportation Security Administration agents in Denver briefly stopped "Star Wars" franchise actor Peter Mayhew recently as he was boarding a flight with a cane shaped like one of science-fiction's most iconic weapons. Airport officials say they wanted to inspect the huge walking stick before allowing Mayhew, who is more than 7 feet tall, on the plane.

I would agree with a commenter on yahoo..why would chewee have a lightsaber? I smell a conspiracy..

To bad there isn't a video or at least a few pictures...would have made it way cooler
So unfortunately I'm afraid that forces me to come to one conclusion in this case...um...Pics or it didn't happen?

Hmmm....The force is strong with you young Padawan.

"Hey baby, is that a light sabre in your pocket, or are you just crazy to see me?" the TSA agent was heard asking as he licked his lips and smiled.

Oo

Dad! what's for dinner?. "Wooky Steak son", Is it any good?. Naaah It's a bit Chewy!.

It was pretty suspicious. Chewie should have a Bowcaster, not a lightsaber....every nerd knows that.
