In defence of the flight attendants on this flight:
The word is that he had consumed half a bottle of Jim Beam that he had stashed as duty free without the flight attendants knowing.

The 'Gentleman' concerned in this incident was VERY quiet and subdued when he completed his trip to Chrismas Island the next day, having been a guest of the cocos police overnight.

Ok... correct me if I am wrong... and this is just a bit of 'what if' on my part... BUT... is backed up by facts I have been told by many aircrew who pass thru this port...
NJS stop in Learmonth for fuel on the way to Xmas/Cocos... iirc, pax wait in the terminal. It is WELL known by crew that the person serving the booze in this airport is less then - ahem- strict- with application of Responsible Service guidelines. Wondering if this could possibly have contributed in any way???? I have known of more than a few pax who have been booted from flights departing here, for this very reason, frequent calls to local coppers, abuse to hosties, etc... perhaps a pattern??
Surprised about the box cutter though. My guess it, it has got through in Perth, as the security staff in Learmonth seem to love confiscating everything from tweezers to long-tailed combs and suchlike that the ladies tend to carry...!!!!

He certainly won't Mr Hat! I heard much later a rumour that he was ''no longer with us!''
