@arstechnica no WiFi for only 30 minutes and the FBI's involved... Just about every flight I've been on the WiFi has self shat at one point or another, and often for much longer than that.
I call nothing burger. I mean, sure someone might get prosecuted or no-fly listed. It is a dumb stunt to pull when you're also one of the passengers. With the exception of someone standing up fake WiFi network for a few minutes, it sounds like my typical experience with Delta.
