An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to London was delayed last night because a passenger identified a network called "Al-Quida Free Terror Network" on his smartphone's list of available wireless networks. Based on the photo of his phone, it can be seen that the passenger who identified the network is likely Israeli.
The passenger, who was looking for a WiFi network to connect to, recognized the name of the suspicious network and expressed concern to the flight attendant.
The plane then parked in a remote area of LAX airport in Los Angeles for 3 hours, and passengers were instructed to turn off their devices. According to ABC7, one passenger said that "after an hour the captain said there was a security threat and that there was no clearance to take off.".
An American Airlines official said, "After further investigation, it was determined that no crime was committed and no further action will be taken.".
