A flight was late because someone named their Wi-Fi hotspot ‘Galaxy Note 7’

Airlines aren’t taking the ban against Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 lightly. A clever but highly irresponsible troll by a passenger aboard a Virgin America flight out of San Francisco nearly resulted in the plane being grounded and searched for the recalled smartphone. According to BBC News, someone switched the name of their portable Wi-Fi hotspot to “Galaxy Note 7_1097,” which gave other passengers (and the flight’s crew) the impression that Samsung’s device was somewhere on the plane — and actively being used.
This resulted in numerous urgent announcements from the crew demanding that the owner of the Note 7 speak up. The captain warned that the flight would need to be diverted and land in Wyoming (far from its Boston destination) for an emergency search if no one stepped forward.

I was on a SWA flight last month and they announced. "If you have a Note 7 you are to keep it off at all times if you managed to sneak it past security. If you have one on, the crew is supposed to remove it from you for the duration of the flight"

They were forcing people to leave their phones at the airport with Jet Blue a few months ago when I flew to NY.

That is hilarious, but not worth being put on a no-fly list.

Especially fessing up. What dumbass goes that far and doesn't have an exit strategy to change the name and turn it off so it can't be found?

What is wrong w/ the Galaxy note 7? Does a little jihad jump out once it reaches a certain elevation?
