Jeanne - perhaps the prophet saw this in his tea leaves which is why we see the position adopted 5 times per day...

Pray to whatever you believe that this will never happen..

Drugs flowing into this country are primarily coming from Iran and Afghanistan.

Perhaps "bawel" has something to say about this?

The House of Representatives Commission V will summon Lion Air management after one of its pilots was arrested for consuming methamphetamine in Surabaya early Saturday.

“Previously, the House summoned the Transportation Minister and Lion Air management due to a similar case with a pilot. But, why should the same case recur?” Muhammad Arwani Thomafi, one of the commission members, asked on Saturday.

Earlier reports indicated that the pilot, S.S., was apprehended after he consumed methamphetamine in a hotel in Surabaya on Saturday at 3:30 a.m.

Police arrested S.S. and three other pilots while they were playing cards.

After undergoing a urine test, S.S. was determined to have consumed methamphetamine, while the drug tests on the remaining three pilots proved negative, the report said.

S.S. was scheduled to go on duty at 6 a.m. that day, according to officials.

On Jan. 10, police arrested another Lion Air pilot, Hanum Adhyaksa, in Makassar, South Sulawesi, with 0.9 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket.

In addition, police also caught another Lion Air pilot, M. Nasri, who was using methamphetamine along with two friends in an apartment in Tangerang, Banten province, in 2011.

Arwani said the arrest of S.S. indicated that there is a management problem at Lion Air.

According to Arwani, the company’s management should also be held responsible for the pilot’s violations.

Further, the House commission, he said, would ask the Air Transportation director general of the Transportation Ministry to urge Lion Air to revoke the license of the pilot who used the drug.
