\\In a phone call from her cell, Ms Plummer told the BBC she was given the tablets by a colleague for her Egyptian partner, Omar Caboo, who has "back problems".
She said the colleague put them in a chemist's bag, which she put in her suitcase.
"I didn't even look in bag," she said. "I can't tell you how stupid I feel."//

As they are Prescription only doesn't the person who gave them to her need them.?

A colleague put them in a chemists bag, which she never looked in, so it could have been a kilo of heroin or coke or a bomb.

remember the question at the airport, about knowing whats in your suitcase.


Trying to make some money I think.

She should name that friend.

237SJ, I get asked whether I'm carrying things for anyone else about once a year, at home or abroad. Rightly or wrongly, it seems to be very uncommon.

According to the Mail her boyfriend has come forward with proof of his back pain.

I'd say stupid and naive - I have them in the cupboard and avoid them unless in sheer agony, anyone who would take them for fun is loopy.

Stupid woman, IMHO.

I think she was stupid !

From the details, it looks like this woman has been naïve - I hate to use the term 'stupid' because that's the sort of scoffing judgement-from-a-distance that keyboard commentators use, when I believe she has been foolish, rather than stupid.

However, as she has been told, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and she should have been wary of carrying anything for anyone else, there are plenty of warnings around.

I repeat, stupid !

She's not a drug smuggler, she just didn't think. She was trying to help her partner with his pain and didn't think a painkiller could be a prohibited item there because it's not here. She wouldn't have made any money from it because 300 of them is worth next to nothing in Egypt, so its clearly a genuine, if naive error. If she'd wanted to snuggle them into Egypt she's only have had to post them, as she'd have stood no jeopardy here as they aren't illegal, so suggesting she was up to no good makes absolutely no sense. I feel very sorry for her.
