Something wrong when you can’t just leave the bottle in your bag until the flight is over
She looks like a very dangerous woman. Do you see the size of her pearly whites? Thank goodness the authorities were able to put a stop to her criminal behavior. /s
Seems to me the flight crew over reacted. She allowed the steward to take the little bottle of Vodka away from her, place in a purse and store the purse in the overhead, out of reach. Yet, she had police waiting for her and missed a connecting flight? Why? Over a tiny amount of alcohol that she could no longer drink?
Maybe something was left out. Maybe she ran her mouth and started arguing with them. At least I know it’s not just American flights where the rules are so strict and rigid.
“It’s my Nerve Tonic”
After looking at her pic...... I would not being wrong either.
Whitest teeth I have ever seen. Fiscally responsible. (Not buying way way overpriced mini bottles.) Big assed happy grin. Either oblivious or a con. Haven’t seen a lib with anything but this on their face in a while ;-( I would if I were younger and single give it a go. Might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but looks damned good as arm candy without the evil me me me me of feminism.
She’d do in a pinch.
If I wasn’t old, fat and poor, she would be mine.
>> Thats why there are so many airport bars in the countrys busiest airports.
Figured it was motivation to get the airport early.

I always bring my own little bottles when I go on vacation. Sometimes, I have been allowed to use it on the plane, other times, not. Never been a big deal and my 99 cent bottle is a lot less expensive than theirs. If I can’t drink it on the plane, I have my drinks where ever I stay.
Oh, and there have been times, I buy a coke at the fast food place before boarding. I am always allowed to take that on board(and it is spiked). I drink at the airport. It is my thing, I guess, cuz I don’t care for flying.
Presumably, the regulation is keep the cabin crew in control of alcohol consumption. They don't always succeed.
Consider the case of the late Gerard Buckley Finneran, a banker expert in Latin American debt instruments, who got thirsty on a 1995 flight from Buenos Aires to New York. You can read the details on TSG (page 2 cites the relvant regulation). Finneran was a member of the Air Force Academy's first graduating class.
“Here’s her real picture. Guilty!”
Mmmmmm, no, I disagree, not guilty! Except for that nose thingy, that’s not good.
Back in the day, I always brought my own liquor on board. Why spend the money if could just throw a small bottle or flask in your purse. Times sure have changed.
The three ladies were quiet, they werent boisterous, they were nice ladies. The woman in question certainly wasnt drunk. She was sober and when she got off the plane she was walking in a straight line and acting normal. She didnt argue back or anything like that. . . .
The male cabin crew on the plane who caught her with the little bottle was a bit of a jobsworth but he was also a nice man. I just think the incident got right out of hand and it could have been handled differently.
jobsworth: a minor official who insists on following regulations to the letter, especially with the intention of being deliberately obstructive
The big crime was the airline couldn’t charge her 10 bucks for it.
Not if you fly Carrie Nation Airlines.
The headline is misleading. It’s not a “bad idea.” It’s just forbidden in our totalitarian nanny states.
kinky. never considered the nose. the other end is where my concern lies.
