| Calling their speaker Bomb was asking for trouble and I’m surprised this hasn’t occurred before now. It reminds me of when RED released a camera called Weapon, and I heard of people putting tape over the name when going through the airport. |

There are just too many mind blowing ways of stupidity to be able to account for all of them. Also it's not their fault other people decide to ground a plane for no reason. |

That, or they're such a small business that they never expected one of their random products to be HN hugged to death. | |
