    What makes you think he’s snooping or even giving free wifi?

    I see two scenarios:

    1. Bridge to airplane’s WiFi and maybe snoop on where people go
    2. No bridge, just redirect everything to a static page on the Pi

    The second is way easier, way funnier, and way more informative to others on the plane. I highly doubt he did #1 (would require additional hardware or hacking the chip’s driver), and most likely did #2, especially since #1 would validate people using random WiFi SSIDs. That just doesn’t match what I know about Woz.
