How curiously quiet the tsa has been on this story.
Assuming he brought heroin in its liquid form on board, why was it not detected? And the larger question; what if it was an explosive rather than a narcotic?
90 percent failure rate from tsa...no wonder they missed it.

IMO it would be very reasonable to add narcan to the emergency kit. Remember that opioids are not just "street drugs" but also percocet etc., prescribed, used, and abused by millions. I'm actually a bit surprised required kit doesn't have narcan - many police and all EMS have them now. FAA requires all planes with over 30 people have a defibrillator too now, which is an excellent use of resources.
I've assisted in quite a few midair emergencies over the years, kits vary a bit, but are focused on allergic reaction, heart attack, and arrhythmia therapy.
A lot of people take an extra med to calm themselves or sleep before a long flight. Being at risk doesn't mean one is a "junkie".
