While recently passing through a Denver airport, Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew, his wife, and agent, were pulled aside by airport security, and told his cane would need to be confiscated. They were told the cane, made to resemble a lightsaber, and specially made top support Mayhew's 7'2" frame, could be used as a weapon. After tweeting a picture of the incident to his followers, the cane was soon returned.
