So my buddy owns a bar in downtown Indy

We were discussing the NSA issue tonight. My friend is a progressive liberal and very much against the surrveillance state. We had great fun tonight changing the name of the bar's WiFi network name. If you serach for open networks at his bar, you will get 25 to 30 secure networks from businesses in the area. On Monday if anyone in range searches for a network one of the networks will come back as NSA SURVEILLANCE VAN #4. I am sure some the bankers and lawyers in the vicinity will shit bricks when they see it.

I propose everyone change their WiFi network name to some iteration of the NSA Surveillance Van #3 or FBI Surveillance Van #2 etc.

Cheers!

NSA Data Collection #2

Excellent Idea! Then I'm going to ask my neighbors if they've seen it. I'll check back after the weekend.

I look forward to sniffing out that network. If I find it I'll go in and buy a beer. Or 9.
