Transportation / Chow Needles on the Plane

Posted by on Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 9:50 AM

CNN:

Dutch authorities have joined the FBI in conducting criminal investigations into the discovery of needles in six sandwiches aboard four Delta Air Lines flights from Amsterdam to the United States, a military police spokesman in the Netherlands said Tuesday.

One person was injured when he bit into a sandwich containing a needle, Delta and Dutch officials said.
That passenger, James Tonjes, said he thought the object was a toothpick at first.
"When I pulled it out, then I found out it was a needle," he said Tuesday.
Tonjes said he has been placed on medication to prevent HIV.

One of these needle planes landed in Seattle. One needle, which punctured the roof of a passenger's mouth, was described as a sewing needle without an eye. The needle sandwiches were made in the Netherlands.

Remember there was some fellow in Sweden some time ago placing inverted needles into seats on the subway.

And still this is better than smelling McDonald's crap that some people bring onto planes

Affordable hashish at the local bistro could have something to do with lack of oversight.
