United flight turns around after passenger's Bluetooth speaker name triggers security scare

United Flight 236 to Palma de Mallorca turned back to Newark about an hour after departure.

Crew reported an active Bluetooth device with a suspicious four-letter name, which air traffic control treated as a possible security threat.

The aircraft was evacuated and inspected, including the cargo hold, before operations could resume.

The case shows how a joking device name can trigger full aviation security procedures and major delays.
