Agreed... The guy must have been DKA or close on already. And IMHO, he should have had a drs letter stating that he was carrying insulin and why. I never even fly to Sydney without a letter from my doc.

Latest news (5 mins ago on TV) is that QANTAS have changed their "policy" and will "now" allow insulin on board...

I find the whole incident rather odd...
