>The message, sent before Mr Verma departed Gatwick airport, read: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."<p>>Mr Verma's message was picked up by the UK security services who flagged it to Spanish authorities while the easyJet plane was still in the air.<p>>A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.<p>I don't see what this has to do with Gatwick's wifi - presumably one of these agencies have their hooks in Snapchat somewhere, PRISM-style.
It's not clear what law would have been violated here.<p>> "A British man accused of public disorder"<p>Is it <i>public</i> disorder, if it's in a private chat, intercepted by members of the security services?
