Here is the reddit thread where passengers were live replying. I don't seem confirmation of what the Bluetooth device name was. There is one comment in there claiming the following:

"Wife is on the plane. Guy had a speaker named bomb. He just confessed to it. He said he named it forever ago and forgot about it. He’s 16 years old. Wife’s friend is sitting next to him as they are questioning him."

If he confessed and indicated it was forever ago, they didnt need to waste all that fuel and time. It was clearly a mistake and just like other controls the owner was on the plane keeping him accountable (this is something they do for luggage, they'll remove luggage if the owner is not on the plane) .
