#1 As if we needed another reason NOT to eat airplane food. One can just about guess who might have been employed in those Dutch based American vendor kitchens. We've likely seen the last of those snacks. Eating food laced with needles and medical waste... so overrated.

#2 Father and son, on separate flights to MN and Atlanta, find needles and want to save it for a lawsuit??? Wouldn't be of the unnamed religion or CAIR, would they?

In a federal report on the incidents, it was noted that the teen was the son of a passenger aboard the flight to Minneapolis who also found a needle in his sandwich.

I read that as saying both were on the same flight. Seems a bit suspicious, but not impossible by any means.

#5 For the cynical ones amongst us:

Additional needles were reported found on two other flights, one by a crew member and another by a federal air marshal.

If this is fake, it is pretty elaborate. Or someone really is putting needles in the sandwiches.

#6 Per the Yahoo report the teen was on a flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta. His father (or mother?) found a needle on a flight from Amsterdam to Minneapolis.

Another interesting point from the Yahoo link:
"The sandwiches were served to business class passengers, crew members and government employees flying from Amsterdam to the United States."

I wonder if these government employees might have been the specific target of this 'attack.'
