Naming your WiFi network as ‘Al Qaeda’ is just asking for trouble… why not just go with the ‘Don’t steal my wifi’ or ‘get your own interwebz’!?
One person in LAX airport found this out the hard way when he or she labelled their device with the name of the infamous terrorist group, causing an American Airlines passenger who spotted it to have a full-blown panic attack.
A passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 136 reported that while searching for a wireless network, his electronic device revealed the scary network name. The passenger reported this to the airline and the flight was returned to the gate for further investigation, she said.
Law enforcement sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Monday that agents from Customs and Border Protection, the Department of Homeland Security and air marshals found no evidence that the network originated from anyone on the plane. They speculated that it could have been a mobile “hot spot” that was active in the terminal.
