>Heard on ramp frequency. United appeared to tell the captain of a different United flight that there was a Bluetooth device with a “certain four letter word” (quoting) on the plane causing the emergency.

According to the thead they squawked 7700 so this wasn’t just a “fuck it we’re going back” this was a full blown “we’re declaring emergency, roll all the shit.”
I wonder if there’s Bluetooth interference or if they’re suspicious of something else.

This would be both extremely unlikely, and absolutely impossible for the crew to diagnose in flight.

#8My guess is a device was named "Bomb" or something.

#9"Wife is on the plane. Guy had a speaker named bomb. He just confessed to it. He said he named it forever ago and forgot about it. He’s 16 years old. Wife’s friend is sitting next to him as they are questioning him."
