TSA Detains Actor Peter Mayhew to Inspect ‘Light Saber’ Walking Stick

DENVER (AP) — Not even Chewbacca and his light saber get a free pass with airport security.

Transportation Security Administration agents in Denver recently stopped "Star Wars" actor Peter Mayhew briefly as he was boarding a flight with a cane shaped like the iconic movie weapon.

Airport officials say they wanted to inspect the huge walking stick before allowing Mayhew on the plane.
