Narrative:
Passenger was caught 3 times smoking in the aft lavatory. Each time, she took a large carry-on bag with her. The first time she was confronted, she admitted to it, the second time, she said she didn't. Passenger only had 2 drinks, but was acting very strangely. She even sat next to a man she didn't know, and was acting very familiar. He was so uncomfortable, he moved. When I delivered the warning form, she wouldn't look me in the eye, and continued to act strangely. The captain decided to have her met upon landing. We suspected she was taking something.
