A Southwest Airlines passenger has been arrested at 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.
