    except that it’s a felony to impersonate a federal agent in any way.

    • Mark O'Neill December 1, 2010

      Oh come on! It’s a felony to go up to a person, flash a badge and say “I’m a federal agent”. But this is just an obvious joke that only an idiot would believe. Probably the FBI would have a good laugh at this as well.

      Is it a felony to impersonate a van?

    • Lol December 2, 2010

      i think this is a case of umad

    • Dabnick45 December 4, 2010

      What was the impersonation? If I write FBI sueveil/van 42……here now…..what have I impersonated?

    • Doyouwantitornot December 10, 2010

      Impersonating a public official is against the law, however

      1) There must be intent to harm or obtain information to benefit the impersonator
      2) FBI is an acronym that can stand for countless things
      3) an SSID name usually reflects a source not a person. the person behind the source would have to be committing a crime or crude act.

      question if I rename my linksys router ssid d-link is that impersonation or considered stealing a trademarked name?

  • Russell Wagner December 1, 2010

    Uh, no dude, the FBI would most DEFINITELY take this seriously. Trust me, they have their sense of humor surgically removed before they’re sworn in.

    • Dji3 December 2, 2010

      • Acemcduffy December 2, 2010

      • Raymc57 December 2, 2010

        just because we are paranoid it doesn’t mean they are not out to get you anyway

  • Rocco Rizzo December 1, 2010

    I call my SSID “Virus Factory.” Nobody wants to get access to it for some reason.
