the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
Washington, for naming his WiFi hotspot "Bomb on
Board."
Passengers on Flight 3677 heading to Denver were
waiting to depart on Thursday September 11 when
they noticed someone on the plane had named his
WiFi hotspot "Southwest – Bomb on Board."
The man whose name has not been disclosed as at
press time for security reasons later changed his
WiFi hotspot's name to "Bomb Location 19E".
"He also changed it to something about the
stewardess being hot," said Ken Saldi, another
passenger aboard the flight.
The airport security personnel were not willing to
take the risk and the man behind the network names
was detained. Passengers were then taken off the
plane and their bags were re-screened before the
flight was able to continue its trip to Denver.
Southwest Airlines authority said the pilot made the
decision to report the potential security threat.
A Port of Seattle representative said the man is still
in custody while his identity and the possible charges
against him were not released.
