[quote:Anonymous Coward 1061562:MV8xODE0Mjk3XzMwMjIzMDYxXzc5Q0E5QzdG] OP, I know what some of these vans look like (I've seen them from the inside) and your pics aren't like the same ones I know about. First of all they aren't nearly as high tech as you think. They have windows all the way around and have very dark tinting. So dark that you'd have to press your face up against the glass to look inside. But if you did, it wouldn't help. The inside of these vans have a thick, dark, mesh like material lining all interior windows. In numerous places this mesh is fashioned together with velcro. When someone is under surveillance, a small portion of the mesh is pealed back allowing the people inside to peer out while keeping 99% of the van interior in the dark. Do you understand what I'm saying? Heat becomes a major problem for these guys. They can't just run the van and turn on the air when they're on a job. That would tip the bad guys off. Believe it or not, they have a large cooler inside packed with ice. Air is forced through one side of the cooler and blown out the other to cool the interior. I'm not joking. I couldn't believe it myself. Crude but effective. Bottom line. Surveillance doesn't work if they can't see outside the van. But, they have to prevent anyone's ability to look inside at the same time. [/quote]

So the other day I was in my apartment and was connecting my new iPad to my WiFi network. Everything seemed fine, but while looking for my WiFi network I happened to notice this listed on available networks "FBISurveillanceVan".
Below is the screen shot -

After seeing this, I looked out my apartment window and notices a white unmarked van outside my door. Below are the pictures of the van along with the license plate "BUJIN" which is a "ninja" character name from Dragon Balls.
When I saw the van, I when outside, took pictures (below) and an older guy around his late 40's with a bluetooth headset got into the van.

From my research these vans are made by Ford and called "Transit Connect", a complete internet on wheels van with high tech equipment, hotspot capabilities and a tibbe key which is round and very unusual for starting automobiles.

Has anyone else seen these vans around?
I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI didn't check what WiFi name they were transmitting and I'm sure someone in their IT department probably didn't think or check to make sure it was something unique. Either that or legally they have to transmit that ID to get around the law of "surveillance".
DON'T TRUST THESE VANS IF THEY'RE AROUND YOU!
I have read articles before of the FBI doing this and also x-ray viewing into homes with vans.
