80-year-old woman attempts to take a sword on flight

It all happened at South Carolina's Myrtle Beach International Airport.  The woman was catching a flight and her cane had to go through the x-ray machine.  That's where the sword was discovered. The woman had no clue that the weapon was there.  The cane was a gift from her son and she had used it for years without knowing of it's contents.  She surrendered the cane and was able to board her flight.  Lesson of the day:  know what you're carrying before you get to the airport.  sword
