Flight cancelled when “Al-Quida” Wi-Fi network became available

Successful troll is Successful. Unless smartphones somehow obtain and save the Mac Address of every WiFi spot they've ever happened upon, this guy won't be caught. Risk free trolling indeed.

Wifi analyser on android can do that I think.

Modern America is truly dictated by fear of monsters under the bed.

Seriously.

These hotspot names are hilarious. The more creative the better.

What bothers me about this one is the idiot who got upset considering that it has a spelling mistake. How stupid does one have to be?

Then how come all those people that use FBI SSID (ie FBI surveillance van) get charged with impersonating a federal officer?

They do? I've seen that one all over the place including an AT&T store employee

As someone who flys - a lot - I have no problem with what he did. IMO it was not him that inconvenienced people but the over reaction regarding a wifi name.

I disagree completely. Its no different then someone making a joke that they put a bomb on a plane. Even a reference to terrorism forces airport security and the airline to have to make a call on whether its a joke or a potential threat. They will always choose to treat it as a threat.

And I think if you had been the one stuck on that plane on the tarmac for three hours, you would have been looking for the funny man too.

This story surprises me.

With it happening in America I would have thought the standard procedure would be to take a straw poll of who looked the most like a terrorist and shoot them in the head.

Uh - no and you clearly do not understand how analogies work.

Fortunately I know myself better than you do so I know that is not true.
