Bluetooth and wifi works in airplane mode, but what looks suspicious is the missing wifi icon near the plane.

With in plane wifi I think the cat's out of the bag on "airplane mode"

Yeah, except it's probably extremely fake. Most people have a hard time getting Airdrop working in the same room, won't work at 1000ft

I can't tell if this is a meant to be a joke...?

Then it might be a phrasing thing. Pilots fly close to each other and share videos so cellular towers don’t get overwhelmed?!

Oh! So why don't they say that? And why aren't towers at risk of being overwhelmed by users in the airport, rather than the few taking off?

I don't understand - why would the plane companies want to spend money on safety procedures to help the cell companies avoid problems?

Yep flightaware.com/live/ No security issue. You might harm the cell network's performance (your right to do so IMO). And drain battery.
