Reports there suggest someone had a Bluetooth device named "bomb" or "boom." And it was still showing up when they asked people to turn off Bluetooth devices.

There has to be more to it than that. Like someone claiming they were going to blow they plane up after the MX delay. Because just seeing a Bluetooth device named "bomb" and turning a flight around is Wile E Coyot level dumb and overreaction.
