An update to our story yesterday about stricter rules for those taking electronics on aircraft: Today a second Amsterdam to Detroit flight with the same flight number -- Northwest Airlines Flight 253 -- suffered disruption after a Nigerian man reportedly locked himself in the bathroom before landing.
The plane landed safely in Detroit and was immediately surrounded by emergency vehicles. Flight crew said the man was "verbally disruptive" when approached. It's not yet clear if there was a threat to the plane's safety.
These security scares don't bode well for in-flight Wi-Fi schemes, or any of us who enjoy our tech luxuries, particularly on international flights. Yesterday it was reported that the TSA might prohibit the use of electronics in the last hour of flights.
