I wasn’t sure whether to respond here or necrophile the other linked thread, so here it is…

If it’s scopolamine or similar in use, isn’t this (one of) the fabled truth drugs?

ABA and other banking apps’ transactions using fingerprints still require a confirmation PIN number if you aren’t simply moving stuff between your own established accounts. Mobile phone top up, transfers to other (not your) ABA accounts, QR code payments; all still require me to confirm with a pin.

The ‘truth drugs’ such as Sodium Pentathol, Scopolamine, etc; From my understanding, they are of limited use when exacting complex information as they tap creative as well as real memories, increasingly so as the time under the influence extends. But simple, or repetitive information that is easily corroborated can be gleaned, such as short codes, combinations.
It’s not really a truth drug- rather that it makes a person more compliant. Open to suggestion.

Along with the fact that our dependence upon PIN codes because of the nature of security is so great, it’s no wonder that people reuse the same few numbers. Worse still, write them down on a handy piece of paper.

I personally have nearly twenty applications and devices each needing PIN numbers, and for work related stuff, another bunch. Some of these latter are further restricted by the IT department which impose 6 monthly changes, not utilising a previous used pin, not using certain combinations, blah blah.

I’m not worried about my fingerprint or face recognition. The Pin is still in place, and like car keys, and alarm immobilisers- it deters the casual, opportunist thief. If the pro really wants it, they’ll have their methods. The thing is to manage your life such as to limit your exposure to these events.

There was a cautionary notice put out a few years back, to aircrews stopping over in various places. Hong Kong being one favourite. Crews were being targeted as they came and went through the regular hotels, and would find themselves waking up in the corner of a bar that they didn’t knowingly go to, minus their wallets, room keycards, etc.

Similar happened to a small group of us in KL about 15 years ago, in our regular water hole. Fortunately, nothing much happened other than a raging thirst, afterward. But it was a bit of a shock as we had some of the younger cabin crew with us.
Slipping a Mickey is something that’s been going on for quite some time.

I doubt it's Scopolamine, although it is produced here for medical use. It's probably just Rohypnol or some other sedative.

Shes rough as old boots.

Hope the curry was good, chicken tikka jalfrezi for instance.
