The fastest way to get VIP treatment when you land...seriously, how dumb do you have to be to try something like this? This person on Reddit stole my thoughts verbatim: "committing federal crimes from inside a sealed metal tube that lands exactly where the feds are waiting is certainly a strategy."

A group of passengers returning from the DEF CON cybersecurity convention allegedly used a portable network hacking tool (like a Wi-Fi Pineapple) to launch a mid-air "de-authentication" attack. They successfully jammed the plane's official in-flight Wi-Fi, kicking everyone offline, and broadcasted a malicious clone network named "Delta WiFi Fast." The fake hotspot served up a phishing landing page designed to harvest passengers’ personal credentials and Google login data, prompting the captain to send an emergency ACARS alert to the ground. Upon docking at Gate A18, federal authorities and airport police immediately boarded the aircraft to hold the cabin, question the suspects, and seize the broadcasting hardware.
