Claims of drink spiking on plane
I found this at http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...005961,00.html
A WOMAN claims her drink was spiked on a Jetstar flight to Thailand.
Former flight attendant Anamaree Correia, 34, told the Seven Network she was on a flight from Sydney to Phuket when her bottle of water was spiked.
She passed out and later woke to find her dress soaked in urine, she said.
Ms Correia said she was sitting near three Australian soldiers on the flight.
Jetstar says it has not received a formal complaint from Ms Correia but will investigate the incident if one is made.
Ms Correia said she was sitting next to a soldier on the flight, with two of his mates in the seats in front.
"They were in the Australian Army based in Sydney," she told Seven.
She had a meal and a small glass of wine at the start of the flight, before going to the bathroom.
"(I) went off to the bathroom and left my water bottle, as everyone does, you don't think anything of it," she said.
She returned to her seat, drank the water and started to feel ill.
"I started feeling this really bizarre hot sensation start from the top of my head," she said.
"I was just completely paralysed and then I passed out."
Ms Correia said when she woke up, more than an hour later, she was dazed and her dress was soaked in urine.
"I was mortified, I was just devastated," she said.
"It was just a big power trip for them.
"This doesn't just happen in nightclubs, it can happen anywhere."
Ms Correia said the Jetstar cabin manager did not encourage her to get the authorities involved.
But Jetstar said Ms Correia was asked during the flight if she wanted to take the matter further and she declined.
A spokesman said the cabin crew's report for the flight recorded a passenger falling ill and being taken to a curtained crew area.
She was offered medical assistance during the flight and when it arrived in Thailand, he said.
"We've received nothing in respect to a formal complaint from the passenger," he said.
"If a complaint is brought forward we will look into the matter expeditiously."

And its not JETSTARS fault either!
Maybe the police should investigate it and then let her have 15 min with them tied to a chair!
Disgraceful conduct from anyone let alone those charged with serving and protecting our people.

Had to laugh then realised that I am actually defending JetSAR on this one.....[airtags Private message protagonists please make diary note that I am actually defending an LCC]
Note the key descriptor in the alleged victim's relationship to the airline...I seem to recall that the word 'former' was used.
Might have been a few 'snakes on the plane' intentions by the proximity pax identified by the alleged victim, but the story definately has a few (dare I say it)...... holes.

surely a urine or a blood test would prove if she was drugged!
i think its just a publicity stunt you cant be that dumb not to get tests done and keep the evidence. especialy if u you wet yourself and are comlpetly paralized.
i wonder wat the verdict could be, il be watching with intrest.
if it is true i hope the guys gets wats coming to them.

So let me get this straight... at least one of three Grunts travelling together to Asia carry Rhoey in his carry-on baggage on an international flight - (as you do!) - and risks getting pulled over at how many points during security screening, both getting on the flight in Oz and getting off the flight in Asia.
Suppose it's possible, (and accepting that, like most of us, your average Grunt is not a rocket scientist), but I'd have to ask myself what did they think they'd need Rhoey for in Asia? Turning a hooker catatonic after they paid for her services?
Sounds awfully like a young woman who forgot that one drink equals two at a cabin altitude of 8,400' and is trying to assuage her acute embarrassment at the result of overimbibing at altitude.

Anyone ever taken a Rohy?.....
I think she would have had difficulty waking up after landing let alone after an hour or so....But then there are a multitude of substances which could have had an effect such as this.
Perhaps she had taken a sleeping tablet herself such as temaze when she went to the toilet and was embarassed at what happened....
Who knows.....but if her drink was spiked or she thought it was then she should have taken the matter further and if a blood and urine test came back positive for a substance then there is a case to answer for...
The problem then is how or who do you proportion blame....You can hardly convict someone if their only crime is to be in the army...
If she had raised the issue Customs could or may have been persuaded to search the soldiers and surrounding pax for any substances.

It must have been the Army people!
How silly is this woman? According to most of the media reports these days, the military is all batting for the same team! What would 3 Army guys want with her? Next thing we hear these guys will be accused of being paedo's then where will she be?
The point I'm trying to make was mentioned earlier in that if she was so sure about who did this supposed thing to her why didn't she speak up? If she was a victim of drink spiking why didn't she accept assistance from the crew?
If you watch overseas news stories these days you will notice a common theme. All crimes where an accurate description of a person aren't available in the US and UK are either perpetrated by a "Hispanic looking guy" (US) or an "Eastern European" looking guy (UK). In Australia it seem to be all the fault of the "Army Guy".
Is the fact that an Army guy was sitting next to her means it must be true? Because so far that's all she is basing this allegation on.

That is probably why in such cases, the victim is more inclined to be embarrassed, thinking perhaps they did get drunk or it was in some way their fault and therefore wishing not to attract any more attention to themselves.
Maybe that is why she didn't mention it earlier and didn't accept assistance from crew.
(If at all any of this is accurate as we all know that journalists only print facts
)
