After briefly talking with the flight crew, PIRO took the
boxcutter to the front of the aircraft and called the captain. The
captain took custody of the boxcutter in the cockpit and sent an
ACARS message to the U.S. AIRWAYS flight dispatcher in order to
notify the dispatcher of the breach of security. The passengers
were not informed of what happened, and no one acted as if they had
any knowledge of the boxcutter. The flight was not diverted and
proceeded normally to DFW.
PIRO did not observe the above male and female using a
boxcutter for this flight; however, he has seen numerous other
employees performing this same job while using boxcutters. When
asked how the boxcutter would have gotten under the sliding tray,
PIRO has seen the catering employees extending the trays in their
work as well. When extended, the tray formed a larger tabletop on
which to work. It was possible that the above male and female, or
some other employee, accidentally left the boxcutter on cart 000178
