If they're FBI they'll want diet Coke, Perrier,Starbucks, or quiche.

For the last couple of weeks (off and on) when I boot up our computer and home network I get a message about which network I want to join including our home network.
Also on the screen is "FBI Surveillance Van" as an available network - my wife thinks it's because of my SW collection
I figure if there really was a surveillance van, they wouldn't call themselves "FBI Surveillance Van" but with all the current ineptitude on display, you never know
Anyone have an idea what it's all about?
No surveillance vehicle of any agency worth its salt will broadcast its network identity in the open. You have at least one neighbor with a sense of humor.
My home network is named "cemtex". Crack that...

It is a joke, I know a guy who as his mobile hot spot set up as "FBI Surveillance Van. If it were the FBI they sure would not name it as such.

Not the same thing but a chance to tell this: Theresa and I were driving in a town near us and seen a small car with a camera sitting up high on a roof stand. I followed it a bit and it was that outfit, I think, google earth or whatever that takes pictures of houses and address`s that you can see the house, and surrounding houses that you can type a adress in and case the neighborhood. I think the sign on the door was google earth with some other inscription.

I've seen the Google Maps cars a couple of times and they are well marked. I'm sure that is what you saw. Of course it could have been...
I guess I'm a little "tinfoilish" - stuff happens - this a few miles south of us last year:
SWAT team smashes down front door and holds suburban couple on their floor at gunpoint... but it's the wrong home | Mail Online
I don't know how I would respond to something like that...

When I was a guard my company sent me to a airbase to guard a "article".
Now on my job we were occasionaly tested by various other security reps. Usualy it was done under circumstances like shakeing a alarmed fence or opening a alarmed door and then they would stand there with a watch to see how long our responce time was. Usualy I was armed but lucky for this guy I was working a airbase where we wernt.
We got a alarm and I sent my partner. He checked the area, it was night with no workers or anyone he could find in the area. He came back and soon I got another a short distance away. This time I went and was pretty sure I might find someone. It was a pitch black hanger and some guy yelled out, "Freeze! I got a gun on ya! Of course I went along with the drill. Afterwards we got in to it. This was a rookie security guy trying to probley trying to impress his boss`s. He was depending on us obeying air force rules on not being armed. On other assignments I worked nights supposedly by myself far in the middle of no where with no one supposedly around. Even though usualy in civilian cloths had he tried that out there it would have been bad for both of us. More bad for him.
