Is he going to be asked to pay for the costs associated with his little temper tantrum (medical response, etc), or is he going to get a pass and a slap on the wrist. I'm sure that German taxpayers are waiting in earnest to find out.

I think the liquid laws are pretty stupid, too, but I'm not about to put my life in danger to protest them. There are other ways of fighting this.
True, but few of them are as funny to read about.
