A Turkish Airlines flight from Nairobi to Istanbul was diverted after the detection of a wi-fi network called “bomb on board” that alarmed the passengers. The flight made an emergency landing at the Khartoum airport in Sudan but was safely resumed after security inspections on all passengers and the aircraft.

“Experts said the wi-fi network in question was created on board. No irregularities were seen after security procedures were carried out, and passengers were brought back on the plane once boarding restarted,” Turkish Airlines said. Individuals can create personal wi-fi networks on devises such as mobile phones and name them what they want.
 
Here's some Wifi picks for all those travelers:

Baby on Board
Note 7 on Board

Kind of funny, but then your flight makes an extra stop and an extra 2 hours are added to it. Not worth the chuckle, IMO.
