A pilot allegedly threatened to call authorities this month over a Wi-Fi name that was determined to be a potential security threat. The story came from a person who claimed to have been a passenger on a United Airlines flight that featured an awkward moment when the pilot addressed the travelers and issued a warning. The alleged passenger said the pilot came over the speaker "sounding extremely serious" and said the name of the Wi-Fi hot spot was being interpreted as a potential threat and security issue. According to the witness, the pilot warned whoever was hosting the network labeled "Free Palestine, F Zionists" had "30 seconds" to disable it or remove it from public view or he was going to have the FBI meet the aircraft when it landed. The social media user also claimed that while some of the passengers looked nervous, others were laughing because they thought it was an absurd situation. The storyteller said it felt like an example of hyper-political-polarization, where regular people are bringing political messaging into almost any situation, causing institutions to react with full force rather than risk missing a warning sign. In February, Hungarian airline Wizz Air had fighter jets scrambled during a flight from London to Tel Aviv over a Wi-Fi network labeled "Terrorist" written in Arabic. PYOK also reported on an incident from January when fighter jets from both France and Spain were scrambled over a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Barcelona. This incident related to a network named "I HAVE A BOMB. EVERYONE WILL DIE." United Airlines did not respond to a request for comment about the recent alleged incident.
