Subdeacon Joe Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 An agency that is serious need of being disbanded. http://www.inquisitr.com/693370/twitter-chewbacca-gets-his-cane-back/ The actor known for his role as the Wookiee from Star Warshad his cane confiscated by airport security on his way back from aSci-Fi convention. Seven-plus-foot-tall Peter Mayhew had his lightsabercane seized when TSA thought it was an actual weapon, but thanks to somepictures posted to Twitter, they let the Wookiee win. TSA agents had been looking the cane over when Peter Mayhew,who really needed the cane to walk, sat nearby looking none too pleasedwhen he used the Force and had someone snap a picture of the situation. He vented his frustration on the social media micro-blogging sitewith the first picture, “Won’t allow me through the airport with mecane! Giant man need giant cane. Small cane snap like toothpick.Besides, my lightsaber is just cool. I’d miss it.” OK, yeah, ANY cane can be a weapon. So can a belt, a purse, a pencil, or a shoe. Freakin' IDJITS!

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ill trained, under educated, and incompetently led. Sounds like most government agencies. The big problem is that they forgot that they work for US and we do not work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 How humiliating for the city of Denver, it happened at our airport.... Don't feel bad, it could happen anywhere. We lost a bag coming back from Cancun last year, and I swear there were more English speaking people at Cancun than at D-FW. We had some dipstick TSA guy in a sport coat who thought he was the HMFIC (who no habla mucho Ingles) who wasn't gonna let us back into the country w/o our missing case! I finally found some TSA guy with lots of bars on his shoulder who led us thru. Our tax dollars at work. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Foss was on his way to the US Military Academy to talk to the cadets and was held up by TSA because he had his MoH with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
