Diet Coke a Weapon?

A friends sister (Muslim Woman in Hijab) was flying Chicago to DC on United. She asked for Diet Coke as a drink. The FA provided her with an already opened can. When she requested a new unopened can for sanitary reasons, the FA claimed that they don't give unopened cans because they can be used as weapon and refused to provide her any drink. The FA than proceeds to provide an unopened can of beer to the next passenger.

More details of the FA's behavior in this news report.

What do you guys think? Is this clear discrimination from the FA? Should United issue an apology?
