Posted by samzenpus on from the we-need-better-names dept.

roccomaglio writes "The suspect who is accused of planning to bomb his high school in Tampa updated his Facebook status with the following: 'The weirdest thing happened today...when my homie Nic Peezy was trying to connect to a wireless network the connections list came up and one of them was called: FBI_SURVEILLANCE_VAN,' The FBI might want to revisit their wireless network naming conventions."

    this joke made its way around my circles a few months ago. you're supposed to change the name of your home wireless network to "fbi surveillance van" (those exact words, too) to freak out people who are hanging around your house stealing bandwidth. this isn't the stupidest article that's been posted, but it's close.

    What the fuck is wrong with slashdot? This is beyond obviously fake. I know four people who've named their wireless networks that. It's a goddamned meme.

    ...except this time a person was actually arrested by the FBI.
