Southwest detains Muslim for his prayer app

Southwest Airlines emergency-landed a flight from Tennessee to Florida in Atlanta because a passenger's phone played the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer. SWAT team boarded and detained him on terrorism charges. The detained passenger was Muslim. His prayer-time app activated. The crew heard it and decided that constituted a bomb threat. This is where America's security theater has landed: the sound of Islamic prayer is now actionable threat intel, and you get detained by armed teams for praying on a plane.
