It's often said that when American Customs siezes contraband Cuban cigars, they incinerate them, one by one. I can totally see how the Minister might ask that the bottle be dumped in front of him.
Personally if it were me, I would have said thank you, turned around and staggered back to security 30 minutes later.
Finally, how come when Liberal Cabinet Minister had their moments of air/airport rage, it wasn't front page news? Hmmm...
