JetJockey696,

My message was not related to the crappy translation but writing here this kind of news or helping the press to spread the "merde"
Despite the fact that there is an investigation on course and you donīt know the final result, It could be the result of a false positive, and there are a lot of legal substances and conditions that can cause a false positive:

And the list goes on.......

Posting here the picture and the full name of this poor guy is not ethical at all, even if heīs found guilty. And in some first world countries -which Indomessia is not a part of- the source of this new, not you of course, would be prosecuted.
Having said that, I very much doubt about the reliability of any test done in a country where airlines like Lion Air are allowed.


By the way, your news are always welcome, and I thank you for taking the job to keep us informed.
