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

      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.

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

      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?

    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.

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

    I hardly think that the FBI would be stupid enough to label their equipment publicly like that… I mean have you seen an episode of U.S. Marshall’s?
