I had a similar experience going the other way. I puked all over the meal tray (luckily getting most of it on the tray). Two KE FAs cleaned up with big smiles on their faces, but then the ISM came over and confirmed my name. Shxt I thought, I'm being reported to the Japanese port authorities for Norovirus or contagious Hangover or something. I thought i was getting the back room treatment on arrival, but luckily dodged it.

I would rather be deported. They don't use fresh needles (a friend had a similar experience renewing his PRC cross-border driving permit) (next year he opted to pay the $1,400 "opt-out fee"). My bad. A blood test was involved, didn't look very clean but fresh needles were used.
