I stopped into a free WIFI spot this AM ,and one of the networks that showed up on my search was 'FBI Surveillance Van # _ _ _- . Locked, of course.:o

You have likely saved yourself from interrogative water boarding by not disclosing the FBI van number in detail.

And you didn't take a shot of the available WiFi networks including the so-called FBI van for what reason?

You know you can name the SSID (http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wireless/g/bldef_ssid.htm) of a Wireless network whatever you want, right?

It's probably just someone who named their wireless network that to fuck with people..

Actually, I guarantee it's that. Why would a FBI surveillance van name it something that obvious?

lol @ thread and Varg's politeness. If it had anything to do with surveillance it'd be unseen and well protected, or it'd be wide open and inviting, probably with brand default name like netgear or linksys so it looks like a clueless owner.

People give their routers cute names. I got my first laptop about three years ago when I was travelling and one of the first signals I found, when using it in my car, was "dirty black vagina". Cracked me up, still remember which intersection I saw it at. STD theme names like that are popular. Lots of "digital herpes" and stuff like that. Police dept and fbi names are popular too.

Just posted the thread to get feedback, no loss, no gain. Politeness vs. swaggering insults- I still exhibit faith in the basic premise of the former.so thanks.
