I absolutely hate politicians, so I really have no vested interest in defending the guy, but how the heck are so many of you defending the customs officers? They're the biggest meatheads in the industry. You think the average person would have even been given the option of holding it until they came back from their trip? They'd have told the average person to hand it over and move on by without a peep or they'd be accused of assaulting an officer. I had a friend who worked customs in Montreal and he would never pay for bottles simply because of all the kids coming back from Cuba with too much booze. The politician was certainly dumb to not realize you can't bring alcohol on board, but his demand was totally reasonable. Who wants some goof taking your alcohol?
