"Qantas flight threatened by a WI-Fi hotspot"
Greetings everyone. How would you feel if you find a network that can represent a threat for your entire flight? That is what happened recently in Perth, Australia.
A Qantas flight scheduled to depart from Perth to Melbourne has been grounded and delayed after 40 passengers refused to board the aircraft due to a mobile hotspot named "Mobile Detonation Device". One of the passengers reported to the cabin crew affirming that is a sort of "threatening game".
Apparently the person responsible of this "joke" did not want anyone to connect to his network in order to save his data, but on the attempt of making people away of the hotspot the things went too far out.
Plenty of people give their WiFi network a scary-sounding name to ward off potential free-loaders. Normally, it’s not any big deal. But if you’re getting ready to board a plane you may want to temporarily change it or just leave your hotspot shut off… unless you’re cool risking a one-on-one visit with a disgruntled airport security staffs with a pair of rubber gloves.
