I did not ask her to dump it for me, and yes, when she didn't hand it back, I assumed she'd dump it in one of the 6 trash cans within view. You know, like I would have been expected to do had I caught it prior to entering the checkpoint.

In any case, threatening a passenger is pretty unprofessional, don't you think?
Why would you ever fly with something placed in your bag without your knowledge? That seems to be asking for trouble at best.
