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.

>> That’s why there are so many airport bars in the country’s 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.
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.
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 big crime was the airline couldn’t charge her 10 bucks for it.
The headline is misleading. It’s not a “bad idea.” It’s just forbidden in our totalitarian nanny states.
Disclaimer: cynwoody hates airlines (except for Southwest).
When I flew to London on Peoples Express in 1983, half the cabin opend up bottles of champaigne just after takeoff. Corks flew everywhere. It was one big party. Lots of fun!
That’s nothing. Try to take a bottle on a cruise ship lately?
She looks like a fun, cute and stylish young lady! I’m surprised they let her on with a liquid at all, though. It’s been a while since I flew, but I recall you couldn’t even bring on a Diet Coke. Spiked or not.
Kinda cute, but crazy eyes. Would not wish to sit next to her.
Had she been wearing a burka nothing would have been said. Rules and laws are for kafir.
