Recently picked up this baby in the US. I'm flying to Zürich (with Delta) soon and was wondering if I will be able to take it as a carry on.
>It's under 45 inches in length. So would it fall under the "freebie" section with umbrellas?
>Will the TSA have a heart attack if i stroll in with this?

Throw that piece of shit in the trash you manchild.

This. Why the fuck would you want to bring that anywhere you autist?

No. Airlines make people check personal walking sticks, even though they aren't much different than an umbrella. The freebie is for the umbrella and/or winter coat. Nothing else is a personal item if it doesn't fit under the seat in the dimensions of the carry on. Since some airports do not have jetways, I guess they allow the umbrella for immediate use, and the fact they get warped and smashed when packed.
You should know that the TSA takes away very obviously harmless toys all day every day from children, from clear plastic ping pong ball shooters, to Nerf foam bats. Be prepared to lose it, or get a simple tote bag for your on board carry on, and have extra time, cause you could instead split your belongings, walk back to the ticket counter, and check one of your bags. I don't pay for checked bags with my AMEX perks and skymiles, so maybe this won't cost you much, but I think first bag is $50-150, so think very hard about mailing this to yourself home.

Not strictly correct -- I have carried bamboo and-paper kites from several Asian countries as carry on personal items, and we have all seen various musical instruments carried on

Just tell them it's not the weapon they're looking for.

do you have twitter? not even kidding, https://twitter.com/asktsa
take a pic and they'll respond pretty fucking quick, TSA's twitter is the one part of the organization that isn't a total dumpster fire
Ship it to your home address. Go to a USPS office wherever you are and send it out.
Just deactivate it. The hilt will easily fit in a bag or on the belt of your robe.
Try using a mind trick to make them let you take it on.
In all seriousness, why are you taking a lightsaber on a flight?

No sadly I do not.

I don't feel like paying 200 USD to ship them since they're worth around 160in total.

Darn it, I left my robe at home.

My kiddos are big Starwars fans.
I've decided to overload my carry-ons and just use the box with the sabers in it as my checked baggage.
Thank god I traveled light.
