Passengers with mobile WiFi network named "Remote Detonator" removed from plane

And that’s why you’re not an airport officer. Airport Security is SRS BZNSS, don’t cha know.

“Error 2: Connection Failed” and “Error: Network Unavailable” are my go-to network names. Bonus that they’re airplane safe!

If you really want to be evil on the flight, wait until takeoff to turn on your phone’s AP.

Leave auth open, SSID, “Free Porn uPnP DLNA”

Then, have a DLNA server running on your phone with enough materials to make good on the promise.

(I am not actually this evil IRL…)

honestly, if so much “security” wasn’t premised on being on the same network - i’d gladly open my network and let my neighbors grift.

it really pains me that it’s not easier to have one internet bill per block. what’s the purpose of everybody paying for “unlimited bandwidth” when we’re all eating from the same pipe?

Or just not have a public SSID, which is good enough to hide from most people.

Um profit? What cheeses me is the “buy X separate lines for your family, each with unlimited…” Well, bloody f-ing hell; if we can collectively use limitless bandwidth as a family, why are there separate (high) charges. Oh, “device connection” fees? urgh.

Currently, amongst all the LYNKSYS00990s and AAM ENT 1s around me there is:

  • GCSB No.1
  • Bill Wi the Science Fi
  • pretty fly for a wifi

I guess old mate Bill has a global following.

Do people use DLNA that often?

I think that without an internet connection to find out what it is/how to configure, most people will only get frustrated for not being able to access it.

Run a Mile High dating site. Remove bag of popcorn from carry-on. (Requires jury-rigging the DNS and fooling phone checks for Internet access.)

I’ve lived in an apartment building where there were networks named “Pretty Fly For A Wifi”, “[Borat voice] My Wifi”, and “Shout PENIS for password”. One of them may have been mine, I can’t confirm or deny which one.

I mean. Companies still frequently build clients and servers into things. So I presume enough people use it.

Not to mention, I’d much rather keep my phone out of hotspot mode when I’m not actually using it. But bomb jokes in airports never end well for the joker, for good reason.
