If you like to set unique names for networks WiFi, even the mobile ones, which you use to share the Internet with other devices, or even with friends, then it would be good to be careful what kind of words you use in their names.
Today I'm talking about a case from Australia, where an airline flight was delayed due to the fact that there was a passenger on board who had a WiFi network with a strange name, the airline customer choosing the name Mobile Detonation Device, Mobile Detonation Service, for her.
Discovering this WiFi network and its name, the captain of the plane decided to postpone the take-off for 2 hours until the person with that network was discovered, but of course this did not happen, and the plane took off late, but also with fewer passengers than he had initially, refusing to take the risk of flying with a potential bomb.
It is easy to understand why the person who had that open WiFi network decided not to reveal his identity, but cases like this show us very clearly how paranoid airlines can become when it comes to the safety of flights or passengers.
An inappropriately named wi-fi hotspot sparked a major security scare on a Qantas flight to Perth, resulting in up to 40 passengers refusing to fly. A female passenger is believed to have spotted the hotspot on her phone's wi-fi menu — titled Mobile Detonation Device — shortly after she boarded QF481 in Melbourne on Saturday. He said there was a device on the plane that had a name on it that he found threatening and that we were not leaving until that device was brought to him.
