Sure.

What about non emergency situations such as, say, an objectional (to some) device name on a network?

I can't help but wonder would any of this happened had the device been named "Bomb" in Farsi using unicode.

It's only an objectionable device name once you know it's safe. When you're on a plane, you have to err on the side of caution

If the story had been "Bomb detonated on plane after bluetooth name sparks alert" then it would've been more than just objectionable
