i read somewhere that she got a prescription from the chemist and then popped the pills as she got them into her bag.

But .... how did she get the prescription in the first place. Did she falsely go to the doctor to get the prescription as these weren't for her. A doctor is not going to write a prescription for someone living in Egypt.

While one wants to believe she made a silly mistake, her story has holes in it. There is deception involved along the way.

As Livia has already said, the Tramadol was given to her by a friend.

Even so, it's pretty sick that there's talk of taking away her life. Pain killers are help to people in pain.

Some cultures are better then others.

She must surely have asked the question, why do i need to bring these pills, can you not get them there. The only response would be because those are illegal here. The story really doesn't add up

Its easy to make too much of this. It could have just been a case that he really did have a bad back. She may have mentioned this to her friend, telling him she'd purchased some over the counter Naproxen for him and her friend could have said, "I've got a Tramadol that I no longer need?"

It could of all been perfectly innocent. People shouldn't do it but they pass on unused prescription meds all the time.

Everyone in Britain must be aware about how risky it could be taking any kind of drugs into certain countries and would be over cautious. She was either entirely stupid or knew exactly what she was doing. I tend to favour the latter. I find it difficult to believe she was that stupid.

When I went to Mexico last year I borrowed a work colleagues suitcase. In the Mexican airport my name was called out and a bemused me was taken into a private room and asked if I had packed my own suitcase. I said I had, but as I said it I suddenly thought, 'this isn't my case. What's hidden in the lining?. I hadn't checked before packing.

As it happened, part of the hard covering behind the lining had crumbled and and it had appeared that I was hiding something.

I was stupid to borrow someone's suitcase and not unzip and check behind the lining but people do stupid things all the time. You only have to look at the overflowing disposal bucket at baggage check in the UK to see how unthinking some people are when flying abroad.

I think that is different, an innocent oversight - what she did was sheer stupidity - at best.

The difference is you had no reason to think someone would be hiding drugs in your case. This female clearly knew exactly what she was doing.
