>> reporter: james tonges also says he ate one of the sandwiches. >> i felt the poke on the top of my mouth. when i pulled it out of my mouth, it was very clear. it was about a one-inch-long straight needle. >> reporter: the u.s.-bound flights originated in amsterdam. federal authorities including the fbi are investigating. trying to learn who had access to the food before it came aboard the plane. the catering company have been removed from flights. and a statement, gate gourmet said, we take this matter very seriously. gate gourmet immediately launched a full investigation, to determine the root cause of this disturbing incident. and we are treating this as a criminal act. delta airlines says it has taken immediate action to ensure the safety and quality of its food. but the scare exposes a vulnerable area of airline security. >> you can't check every sandwich that goes aboard a plane. and i think, unfortunately, this demonstrates to people who want to do bad things this this is a gaping hole.

"the rappahannock" then flashed its lights and issued warnings

over loudspeaker. the boat did not slow down. "the rappahannock" then fired into the water, using a .50 caliber machine gun, similar to this one used in a navy training video. when that didn't work, sailors aimed the ship's weapons straight at the oncoming boat and fired, killing one person onboard and wounding at least three others. it turns out, the boat was not iranian at all. all the victims were from india. two others aboard but unhurt, from the uae. so, what was the unidentified boat? u.s. officials describe it as a pleasure craft. officials with the united arab emirates describe it as a fishing boat. there's no indication this was an attempted act of terrorism. but at the very least, it was a massive communications breakdown in one of the most dangerous places in the world. jonathan karl, abc news, washington. the most traumatic moment of the republican presidential campaign so far could play out in the next few days. a spokesman says mitt romney may announce his vice presidential pick by week's end.
