SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Michigan gym patron looking for a WiFi connection found one named “remote detonator,” prompting an evacuation and precautionary search of the facility by a bomb-sniffing dog.

The Saginaw News reports nothing was found in the search Sunday at Planet Fitness in Saginaw Township, about 85 miles (140 kilometres) northwest of Detroit.

I have 2 WIFI networks

“Secret Rebel Base”
“Death Star-Guest”

I think the *REAL* news here is that you have two WIFI networks.

we have funny WIFI connections in our building. One is called ‘ICE detention center’. and other is ‘NSA listening station’. In our of offices it’s “free wifi in exchange for sex”, “what are you looking at?”...

I have a somewhat intimidating name on mine although it’s not offensive.

I was tempted to go with “Free Porn” or such just to see how many neighbors would try to get into it ;-)

We have “Go Trump” and “ICE Surveillance Van” on our cell phones. I was impressed by finding “FBI Surveillance Van” at our local Mexican restaurant every Friday night, and decided to join in the fun.

"FBI Surveillance Van"

That was the name of my network for a few years.

I recently changed it to "Caligula's Funhouse" for no reason whatsoever.

www.wigle.net

this is a good resource to see 1) if YOUR SSID has been mapped and added and 2) to see what networks are broadcasting near you.

I just looked around my downtown area and there are a few good ones...
“something else” (hey, wanna name it XXX? Naw, name it something else... :) )
and “F**** BOLT” (Bolt being a local internet provider!)
“TheSystemIsDown”
and
“Sister Mary Camel Toe”
(I am NOT making that up!)

It is from a ‘Dr. Who’ episode called ‘The Bells of St. John’. If you connected to this wifi you’d disappear and get vacuumed into cloud storage.

Excellent choice!

I live so far in Der Hinterlands that I only have to worry about cows, horses and buffaloes stealing bandwidth. :)
