Interesting WiFi access poit

[bakerjw]

I was waiting for a call from my outboard dealer yesterday while I was working on my boat and I went to check e-mails from my smart phone. I was far enough away from my homes wireless access point that it scanned for others. One of them that it picked up was "FBI Surveillance Vehicle".

Now I know that the FBI wouldn't advertise things in such a manner but I thought that it was humorous that someone would be so cute. The signal went away after a few minutes. Anyone else ever see something like this?

Currently in the process of renaming all my Wifi endpoints to NSA_somethingorother

[Syntax360]

Very common in my area - lots of jokers name their APs things like that. One of my neighbors has something like "APD SWAT TRUCK".

All sorts of good wifi names out there. I've seen tons of police related jokers

two days ago, i was with my brother in law checking out new apartments for him, so i scanned the Wifi while we waited. found several ones labeled "Sleeper Cell", "Free Wifi - Bring beer to Apartment 3B", "My Wifi" or something similar.

For a while I was using (*)CSO SWAT SURVEILLANCE for mine. It seems the local PD, in a response to a +500% increase in number of suspicious people calls, from my next to nothing crime neighborhood, and not to be outdone in the race to nab criminals, sent in THEIR super secret squirrel van(s)... and after nearly 24 hours and some 100+ manhours OT (ROFL)... began redirecting said suspicious person calls to the SO... along with a e-mail to the Chief Deputy alerting him that if any internet investigation centered around the location of the SO cruiser assigned to me, and parked in my driveway, needed any help with "surveillance activities", they would be happy to help. It was apparently made clear that until that "investigation" ended, that all suspicous persons calls from my neighborhood would continue to be directed to the SO.

The patrol Lt. called me in, shared the local PD's clusterf*ck contact, and told me... unofficially off scale funny ... officially you will rename it soonest.

Seemed a bit much of ado over nothing, but I'm quick to grip which way the winds blowing. As a note, I had no idea how plush the chairs in the Lt's. office are.

Now I'm wishing I would have taken screenshots of all the goofy ass names people give their SSIDs.

[AirCavBob]

I'm about to switch my wifi router at home and have been thinking of naming it hotlez just for grins.

[docwalker]

I love firing up my portable access point in coffee shops etc. The SSID is Virus Installer. It gets attention when people are trying to find the free wifi.

SkyNet is the most interesting one on my radar.

[Bendersquint]

I have seen "CIA Listening Post", "NSA User 4509", and a couple other ones.

[ericlw]

i guess im guilty of the "shutup your loud dogs" "loud stereos suck" "

[Conqueror]

SkyNet is the most interesting one on my radar.

Our entire hospital named the secure WiFi "Skynet." It raised a lot of eyebrows.

[kassenz]

My Wifi has been "Seattle Police NARC unit 10" for years.
Everyone in my apartment is an addict. freaks them out. lol

Actually, I need to get cracking program to try to get into the FBISurveillanceVehicle access point. Change the name to something like "NSAIsSuperior"

[doubloon]

If it's WEP that's a low bar.

How about "HouseOversightSniffer5" or "ACLUmonitor37"
