In a seven-count indictment, prosecutors say 27 employees at Haynes Security have criminal records. At least two of them reportedly worked as airport luggage inspectors. The convictions ranged from theft to dealing drugs.

An attorney for the company says the indictment is "ridiculous."

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey uses Haynes for security at Newark Airport, the Holland and Lincoln Tunnel and the George Washington Bridge.
