After some Delta Airlines passengers say they found inch long needles in there inflight meals.

It took three bites out of this sandwich and bit down hard on something that I thought was a a bone it was a Turkey sandwich I thought it was a -- And it's stuck me in my tongue and I.

I pulled it out and it was a a -- my son had a similar incident in which he was about to -- down into the sale which found something shiny in the sandwiches he was about to bite.

Pulled out a -- from the -- which brought that to the attention the stewardess again that man says he and his son found the needles on two separate flights over the weekend.

The catering company called gate gourmet provided the food you can see here on the carts but we have the -- -- out is not his problem.

One other passengers has an eagle punctured the roof of his mouth and then he'll be monitored for up to ninety days for viral diseases including hepatitis and HIV.

Gregg Jarrett in -- York city newsroom where we're monitoring this from this afternoon we have any idea how this could have happened well we know that.

There's very little chance -- that this was accidental someone deliberately trying to harm passengers headed for the United States six sewing needles hidden in six Turkey sandwiches.

Was like this.

We might call malicious product tampering are done either because there's some.

Personal vendetta against the company this may be some union or other activity which prompting some type of a work issue.

It's it's trying to -- the management team other employees where the bottom line the company.

Well one man on board a delta flight to Minneapolis had his tongue punctured another passenger on the same flight took a -- founding -- was not injured.

As we say -- more needles were found in similar meals in route to Atlanta and Seattle -- Jay gore made the name of this catering company I guess what more do we know about that group.

Well.

They prepared the meals in Amsterdam we know that and they've issued this statement so far quote we immediately launched.

A full investigation to determine the root cause of this disturbing incident and we are treating this as a criminal act now.

The FBI will be working with the Dutch police to try to back Trace who put this sandwiches together and who may else.

Have had access in the area to those -- -- If tying stamps or video cameras exist.

That could prove incredibly helpful and so too would employees who may have seen something.

Or heard something or know something -- Gregg Jarrett in the newsroom great thanks let's bring in an expert now Mike Boyd.

Chairman of the aviation consulting firm.

Boyd group international but Mike how much do we know about security for people who provide all sorts of things including food for airlines.

We know a lot about it there's none.

Basically this could have been C four in the lasagna as well as the needle in the Turkey.

So what we -- -- the situation once again we've been -- our back doors of our airports are wide open.

And so we go through all this screening and they take away our water bottles but they'll let anything in for catering.

I absolutely I think that the -- -- with the people who are working on the ramp fixing the concrete look this whole thing is for show.

9/11 didn't happen because of the failure of screening of passengers.

It took place to the failure of the total security at our airports that still exists.

And there have not been a lot of improvements along those lines.

Absolutely not and what we see at an airport.

It's it's a joke -- me Samir.

Some your competition other networks -- defend these people left and right to have good they're doing like that yelled at TSA the oh absolutely I talked -- secretary and we're better off I mean.

I don't talk to those people anymore if I used to be we have to do training and security so we know.

The fact is we're not any safer than we were before 9/11 this big goal is simply to make us feel safer.

Absolutely it's like that moronic thing bush did by putting.

Two guys holding amp -- DM sixteens at the gates right after nine elevenths.

It's all for show -- well Mike Boyd with a dose of reality -- -- of what Mike thanks see you again thank you.

You see.
