The TSA is lucky he was not carrying a Blas Tech weapon liberated from an Imperial Storm Trooper. Oh, the carnage.

It's kind of ironic that the TSA is concerned over a lightsaber cane, but not too long ago they were considering lifting the ban on small knives...

He's lucky they didn't bust him for the wheelchair.
Reasonable accommodation? TSA does neither.

Don't disown them! Lol. Seriously, I doubt there is anyone in the country that doesn't harbor a bias against another group for one reason or another. Religion is just one of hundreds of those reasons.
