Turning around for an SSID named Bomb

EWR-MAD, air returned.


I don’t get it. I’m sure they’re just following procedures established by the airline and the security theater.


Never in history has a real terrorist been stupid enough to name his internet as “Bomb,” and then blow up a plane. Real terrorists just blow up the plane, no warnings or hints.


If I was king, we continue to Madrid.



Thoughts?
 
In the olden internet days when there was just an ethernet option in the hotel room, I called an Apple Airport Express and I had all sorts of mischievous SSIDs knowing full well several hundred coworkers at the crew hotel would see it. Excellent in places like AMS where we basically fully inhabited the hotel.

Personally? I’d confer with the security team and if we all agreed to continue, I’d have no problem with doing so.
 
I’m not gonna fault the crew or the airline for being conservative. Better to deal with it over the states than dealing with an issue over the tracks. We also dealt with a Level 4 the day before I believe it was, so yea, not playing around.
 
Get dispatch and corporate security on a satcom call and we'll make a decision together. Ultimately it's the company's airplane, and as long as it doesn't involve doing something stupid, I'll take it wherever they tell me to.
