(No, not "candy apple" ...)

OK, up until now, this has been mostly (not solely: 
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/needles.asp ) the stuff of urban legend.  
However, as a professional paranoid, I cannot help wondering: in this day and 
age 
of Hallowe'en candy paranoia, how is it that the candy and apple were not 
checked 
prior to consumption?  (Pretty much everyone I know throws out everything that 
isn't seal-packed, and quick-checks the integrity of all sealed goods.)

Is it remotely possible, in this day and age of people doing anything for 
instant 
celebrity ("22 Minutes" last night did a spoof on a reality TV show "Who's the 
tallest"), that someone put the razors in these items themselves?

Or are we getting some *real* weirdos out there?
