A suspicious news report details a woman's claim that her drink was spiked and her Swarovski jewelry stolen during a Continental Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Newark. The story, which involves a "long walk" from row 16 to purchase a soda, is dismissed as a fabricated scare tactic designed to make air travel seem dangerous. The FBI is reportedly investigating the incident, though critics point out numerous factual inconsistencies in the victim's account.
