COMMENT - And the Fab Five appeared as having visited this post within nanoseconds of posting. Funny. Are they worried I might post the Hillary story? Hadn't thought about it. And actually now I am writing a book about the experience using more recent research.
And at 8:00am the FBI have disappeared. Probably went on a coffee break.
11:54pm - They're back. Long coffee break.
22nd
8:09pm - Gone for the moment. Will they be back as the CIA?
It is important for everyone to express their
creativity and sense of humor. But does asserting your individuality
really need to involve giving your wifi network a wacky name? And do you
really need to call it "FBI SURVEILLANCE VAN?" You're freaking me out.
17-year-old Florida resident Jared Cano was arrested
Tuesday for attempting to blow up his high school. It's a generally
disturbing story, but one bizarre detail in particular made my hair
stand on end. Two days before he was arrested Cano posted
on his Facebook that his friend had tried to connect to a wireless
network and spied a wifi network named "FBI_SURVEILLANCE_VAN." He was
understandably creeped out, as you can see in the screenshot above.
Is the FBI really so dumb that they gave themselves away to a mark like
this? Unless Inspector Clouseau has taken over for Robert Mueller, this
was not a surveillance van, but a joke by some neighbor. Naming your
wifi network after a surveillance van is such a common gag that Mashable
included it on a list
of "best wifi names". The butt of the joke this time happened to be a
guy who was at that moment scheming about how to one-up the Columbine
massacre. All a strange coincidence! MORE
So, is the FBI over there in the Greenfield cabin - or is there a more rational explanation?
Time will tell, it always does.
