ATC--expertise?

I wonder just what training the ATC person had had in voice recognition of a drunk person transmitting....precisely none, I reckon. And yet this person had the brilliance to contact the police. Who themselves are duty bound to react. In their inimitable fashion.

The world has gone mad, particularly the PC parts like U.K and U.S.A. Shades of the recent 146 episode at MAN, where a female passenger contacted the police about a suspected drunk flight crew. Who were stone cold sober.

Cheers folks.

(Not flying for a few days...need a drink after this reported stupidity!)
