Before this thread gets binned like the last one.
Moderator, this case is extremely pertinent to many people living in the Middle East and maybe even more so to those travelling on a Middle Eastern Carrier through the region. The question is can a person drink on these flights without a liquor permit, or do they run the risk of getting arrested.
Secondly are passengers allowed to take drugs containing codeine and the like before boarding a Middle Eastern airline transiting through the region when these drugs are legal drugs in their home country or will they be locked up as criminals for doing this. Additionally do passengers have to be warned that they may be drug tested when transitting through the UAE. Is it any of the UAE's business that you may have taken an illicit drug in a different country before passing through the UAE as a transit passenger?
Putting aside the issue of who they touched and how they acted, which differs depending on who's story you hear the above two points are the ones that would worry most people.
