Summary
A United flight headed to Mallorca turned around mid-trip after crew members spotted a Bluetooth device named "BOMB" on the cabin network. After repeated requests for the owner to identify themselves went nowhere, the pilots decided that "probably a joke" wasn't a great basis for aviation security policy. The plane returned to Newark, passengers got re-screened, and authorities found no actual threat. Allegedly, it all stemmed from a teenager naming a device "bomb," proving that the world's most expensive Bluetooth joke still isn't very funny. For this, this person should feel shame, shame, shame.
