Does "Al-Quida Free Terror Nettwork" mean:
- A terror network free from the influence of Al-Quida?
- A terror network comprised of Al-Quida members formerly imprisoned, now free?
- An Al-Quida terror network that doesn't charge?
- An Al-Quida network dedicated to freeing terrorism.

There are to many idiots today.
Does anyone wonder if 500,000 years ago some of the apes had to take the rocks away from other rocks because they kept hitting themselves in the head?

Al Queda. ISIS, etc. are nothing to joke about.

A terrorist will not be naming their hotspot that way any more than a bomber will call in a bomb threat.

I use lots of wifi names.
Was using "FBI Surveillance Van" but that became common. Same with "Pretty Fly for a Wifi".
Had "Obamaphone" on my phone's hotspot for a while. I didn't want to get tagged by TSA for anti-fuhrer thoughts, so I switched that one to "Mafia Wifi-Keepa U Mitts Off".
At home, I use "Take My Wifi--Please". Wife doesn't like that one, so I changed it to "Connect Here, [wife's name]". She doesn't like that much, either.
Whoever stopped a flight for a wifi name is an idiot.

a passenger on board the aircraft discovered a Wi-Fi hotspot named "Al-Quida Free Terror Nettwork." Arn't free wifi hot-spots part of al-Quida's ISP program? I think their slogan is "You love our service, or we kill you!".

I recently saw a hot spot in an airport that was named “Ebola Victim”.

Too bad they didn't let them beat their own brains out of the gene pool...

I like to use silly, rude, and often profane names for my wi-fi. But one should keep in mind where one is going when you move your wi-fi around.

Joking about something is a demonstration of your power over it. Though it is good not to take your joke too far. Naming your hotspot Al Qaeda is funny, bringing it to the airport, probably over the line.
