| 16. It was handled just fine. |

He behaved foolishly by ignoring the smoking regulation and then responding to the cabin crew's complaints with the comparison to the 'shoe bomber'...arrogant and not very smart for a diplomat. On the other hand, millions upon millions of people have to take of their shoes every time they fly to no great purpose because one guy once tried to put a bomb inside his shoe many years ago...there is little to suggest that air travel has become much safer as a result.
It's a small inconsequential incident, far below the threshold that would justify expulsion of a diplomat.
