Bluetooth Blunder Forces Flight Diversion
Description
A United Airlines flight to Spain turned back mid-air after passengers’ Bluetooth devices—named with a four-letter word—triggered security alerts. The Boeing 767 returned to Newark, where passengers were evacuated, searched by police, and re-screened by TSA and Customs before boarding a replacement flight that finally reached Mallorca Sunday. Just another chaotic day for United, which has seen other diversions this month—including a plane that hit a truck and light pole.
