Serious WTF?!?! moment.
 

So I'm on my way back from lunch earlier today and I decide I need to stop at 7-11 to grab a soda and some candy to chomp on for the rest of the boring afternoon at work. I frequent this 7-11 on a regular basis, as it's close to my work. It also turns out that the guy who owns this 7-11 also just bought the 7-11 in my home town so I see him often, and he's always very friendly and outgoing to, not only me, but all his customers. For sake of my story, I should mention that he is of an Indian background. His employees, on the other hand, who are all also of Indian background, leave a lot to be desired. Always laughing and having conversations in Indian while at the counter and in front of customers, which is a huge pet peeve of mine because it always gives the impression that they're talking about you and it's uncomfortable.
So anyway, I go in and grab my soda and a pack of gummy bears, pay, and go get in my car. While I'm sitting in my car I decide to chomp on a few gummy bears and while I'm doing that I pick up my iPhone and check my email since I'm expecting an important email. So as anyone with an iPhone knows, if you're in the proximity of a wireless network, as soon as you try to check your email or visit a web page, a pop-up box will show the name of the wireless network, whether it needs a password, and ask if you'd like to try to connect. So as I'm doing it, the box pops up and asks me if I'd like to connect to a network that was in range. The name of the network (ready for this one): DeathToAmerica. So I'm sitting there like "what the **** is this ****? Who names their wireless network deathtoamerica??!!!" I look around, and the only thing around is, yup you guessed it, the 7-11. There's an apartment building close by, but it's at least 300 feet away from me, and there's no way the iPhone's wi-fi antenna can reach that far. Not to mention, it was showing the signal strength as good, which had to mean that I'm close to the signal, which would mean it was coming from the 7-11.
Needless to say, I will not be patronizing that place, or the other one that I go to, ever again. But I almost felt a need to stand there and show it to other people. I was pissed off! I just got in my and went back to work, disgusted.
So what do you do? Do you tell people? Say something to the guy? Tonight on my way home I'm going to go park in front of the other 7-11 that's in my town and check for a signal there, just out of curiosity. I just couldn't believe that someone would do that in this day and age, especially a business owner. I really hope it was coming from somewhere else, but honestly, I really don't see how that could be possible.

Call the FBI =)
 

I'm not kidding. F that crap!

smile next time you go in, the FBI and Home Land Security are probably
 

already watching and know.

you should inform our brown friend. =)

Next time you see the owner, ask if they have wireless... its quite easy to log onto the router and
 

change the router name. It could have been some punk kids doing it to get a kick out of it.

That's what I think

Seriously...someone else I told said I should tell the cops.
 

Just to be on the safe side. Should I?

That would piss me off as well...
 

I'd confront the ownwer about it. Perhaps his employees did it behind his back, and he should know that if that crap happened to anyone else, he may be dealing with someone (or some organization) a lot less understanding.

woahhhh time to call it in

hmm good point

fuck off, please.
 

If you want to get technical, you little runt, there are paragraphs. Notice the hard returns? There aren't any indentations at the start of the new paragraphs, which by the way, is grammatically correct anyway. Your 4th grade mind just needs to see the indentations to realize the paragraph is there.

Business owner or not, him or his employees..not to be taken lightly..
 

...make the call.

agree
 

srsly

seriously, yes.

Settings; turn wifi off
 

that way you won't be annoyed by nearby wireless networks.


It will go right to 3g

if it were me, I'd tell this to Homeland Security ASAP

its propbably the owner's wifi.

Uhm, want me to walk down the street and mention it to DHS/DOD/FBI?
 

Because that is some ****ed up ****. Is there any way to capture the image in case the guy changes the name? Regardless of who the wireless signal belongs to, that will raise a number of red flags

Tom, I looked into it, here are the people you need to call:
 

FBI Newark Field Office
11 Centre Place
Newark, New Jersey
07102-9889
newark.fbi.gov
(973) 792-3000

As per DHS' webpage (see below):

Suspected Criminal or Terror Activity

Report any suspected criminal or terrorist activity to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).<ul><li><a href="http://www.dhs.gov/xinfoshare/reportincidents/">http://www.dhs.gov/xinfoshare/reportincidents/</a</li></ul>

I would. You just never know.

id put a phone call into the proper channels. Also, if you need help figuring out what they are
 

saying, i can help:)

2nd

what do you have to lose by calling the cops?.... nothing
 

not calling on the other hand offers a lot to lose if god forbid this guy was some nut case

Also call the local newspaper -- press like that will cripple their business
 

and asshats like that do not deserve patrons

Please call someone. That's truly f-ed up.

Tell people. I know I would like to know and would no patronize that place anymore.
 

Call 7-11 corporate too.

yep. the best answer by far.
