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

But it wasn't, it was the far more common and explainable case, seen near daily, of an edgy device name on a fitbit watch.

The Treachery of Images (and names) dates back to 1929; Ceci n'est pas une pipe bomb.
