This thread is just weird on so many levels - some random thoughts:-

1. Was it codeine or paracetamol? In the UK I am pretty sure codeine is prescription only? Paracetamol is over the counter and legal pretty much everywhere as far as I know (i am pretty sure you can buy it over the counter in the UAE though the ME is one region I make a habit of NOT taking ANY medication to).

2. Why would it ruin the FA's carreer if when you were searched you still had the medication?? It was legal on the aircraft anyway. Surely it's down to YOU to make any customs declaration. It's like going through customs in Australia with a banana from the flight. There will still be a major incident style response and "the FA served it to me" won't cut it! It also won't ruin the FA's career as supplying bananas to passengers travelling to Australia is not a criminal offence.

3. Are you sure you're not high given the weirdness of the thread!? :P

4. I can't believe I am having a conversation about about a paracetamol tablet.

5. Where can you buy individually wrapped paracetamol? Is it from the medical kit?

6. If it was unsolicited how much had you had to drink?

7. If you're regularly mixing paracetamol and alcohol it won't be doing your liver any good!

8. Have a good day!
