Chewbacca vs the TSA
Chewbacca and twitter defeat the TSA
Apparently, a cane only looks like a weapon when there's no bad publicity attached to it. Perhaps they were concerned it was an actual lightsaber? |
One of them was probably hoping to take it home. :td:
|
Just goes to show . . . . the farce is with them.

The TSA does not make sense...

Glad he retracted his Tweet, mistakenly blaming AA for his hassles.
Rule of thumb... let the wookie win. |
You know, we joke a lot about the low intelligence of some TSOs, but this one is no joke - it's a CANE. It's made out of TRANSPARENT LUCITE. Yet they had to examine it because they thought it might be disallowed as a weapon?!
What kind of abject MORON actually believes that a cane shaped like a lightsaber might be a weapon? There is no such thing as a real lightsaber and everyone knows it except small children who are too young to know better, and apparently a few numbskull TSOs at Denver. These guys don't need retraining, they need the Billy Madison treatment, because their intelligence and mental development obviously arrested when they were in 2nd grade. A lightsaber cane might be a weapon? Fire anyone who thought so IMMEDIATELY. This is even stupider than the whole "frosting is gel-like" cupcake in a jar fiasco. This is stupider than disposing of "potential explosives" in a trash can right in the middle of the c/p. This is stupider than the idea that Die Hard 3 binary liquid explosives can be carried in water bottles and mixed aboard an airplane to create a bomb. It's imbecilic to a degree that even I never thought TSA capable of achieving. |

We all know all airports and checkpoints have their own rules.
This is DEN. Perhaps eyecue can shed some light (but not with a light saber!) |
