United Airlines flight to Spain pulls U-turn, apparently over Bluetooth device name - NPR
Overview
A United Airlines flight from Newark to Palma de Mallorca turned back to Newark late Saturday after air traffic audio and social media posts indicated an onboard Bluetooth device name prompted a security concern. The aircraft diverted midflight and returned to its origin where authorities met the plane; there are no confirmed reports of arrests or removals. The episode adds to a string of recent United flight diversions driven by onboard security or unruly-passenger issues, including a diversion to Madison over a passenger incident.
