Don`t mess with the Wookie

Who doesn`t have a horror story about the TSA? Peter Mayhew, the 7-foot, 2-inch actor who played Chewbacca in Star Wars, is thanking Twitter for dealing with the Denver airport`s TSA agents. Chewie says that agents tried to take away his light saber-shaped cane because it could be used as a weapon. His friend snapped a picture and said that he would post the incident on Twitter. According to Peter, that`s when the TSA cleared him and his cane. However, the TSA says that a security officer had to alert a supervisor for Peter to be cleared and social media had nothing to do with that decision.
