Box cutter blades found on Delta flight from Tokyo to Oregon

A plane was searched top to bottom upon landing in Oregon after the crew found box cutter blades on it. Delta, recently named the worst airline in the United States, engaged the help of FBI, TSA and Customs and Border Protection officials when Flight 90 arrived from Tokyo, with 155 passengers and a crew of 10.

According to MSNBC:
The flight crew "opted to contact authorities and request they meet the aircraft upon arrival as a result of some box cutter blades found onboard while the aircraft was enroute," according to Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott.

The report adds that it wasn't yet known how the box cutter blades wound up on the plane.
