False Imprisonment? All JetBlue Passengers Detained Over a Lost Tablet

On my way back to Puerto Rico from NYC, I flew JetBlue Mosaic (see The Best in the US). I was ready to get off the plane when the flight attendant made the following announcement:

We have lost a JetBlue tablet that contains sensitive information. We cannot let anyone off the plane until the tablet is found.

A few minutes later, the flight attendant made the same announcement. Three questions immediately came to mind: 1) What sensitive information was on the tablet? 2). Isn’t the tablet password-protected for inevitable situations like this? 3) Can JetBlue keep me on the plane?

Curious, I messaged JetBlue on X, formerly known as Twitter.

I have no idea what ‘mandated disembarking procedures’ are. But, before I could ask, the flight attendant allowed those sitting in Mosaic to disembark. On the way off the plane, I passed multiple police officers. I suspect that the tablet had more information than beverage cart orders.

Does anyone have the answers to my questions?
