FBI Camera?
Vanity ^ | 723/2017 | Self

Posted on 06/23/2017 6:54:58 AM PDT by Mr. Douglas

An odd thing began happening to my wife a few weeks ago. She was trying to hook up to our home wi-fi system and there was an available network called "FBI camera". I blew it off and told her it was probably one she accidentally saved while at a starbucks or something and someone was just using a "creative name" for their hotspot. The reason I believed that is that our home is several hundred yards from the nearest neighbor, and most of them don't have computers.

Here is the weird part: I'm working from home today and when I tried to log on to my hotspot with my work computer, "FBI camera" was on the list of available networks with two bars of signal. It comes and goes.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but how could there be anything like that being picked up out here in the middle of nowhere? We are surrounded by about six acres of field and that is surrounded by about 100 foot thick forest all around.

Anybody have an idea?

My Dad was a trucker- he always taught us not to hit the brakes but just let off the gas. And he taught us to use a bird dog... of course he pointed out to us that the cheapest most effective thing to do was to not speed and let us know we were responsible for all tickets...

I am surrounded by wifi hotspots. Most are unimaginatively named; like mine the names were assigned by the ISP and never changed.

Just one “special” name:

“FirstChurchOfAppliantology”

Here is a tool that you can use to sniff wifi transmitters. I don’t know how much it costs.

Name your network “The Russians” and see if the other signal get’s stronger. ;-)

My neighbor once changed his to “FBI van” to freak out his kids. The neighborhood had a couple months of fun with that one!
