Police In Mumbai Shutting Down Open WiFi
from the blame-the-technology dept
Perhaps it’s no surprise that, following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, people are freaking out and blaming technology, as if that will prevent another terrorist attack. First, there were the calls to ban Google maps and now a large number of police are sweeping through all of Mumbai to find open WiFi networks and get the owners to shut the networks down. Of course, there are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons for offering an open WiFi network, but it seems that no one is even considering that. Because such networks were used in the past by terrorists and possibly could be again, they all must go.

Funny
They finaly did a street view for my hometown.
Can you guess what I found? A view of my old car, in front of my old apartment from back in March/April of 08.
Terroists used cell phones
Terroists used cell phones
They need to ban cell phones, telephones, guns, boats and lavatories.
Re: Terroists used cell phones
You forgot to mention Hotels, they have to ban Hotels. No Hotels – No tourists – No targets.
Put a few WiFi Routers hooked up to nothing but leave em open 😀
terrorists win again
this is what they want. us to change our ways, turn into a big brother society.
yup, the terrorist just won again.
India needs to spend $80 Million on homeland security instead of probing the moon! Stopping people from using open wifi is pointless!
Retards
shoes
The terrorists wore shoes, we should ban them. The terrorists wore clothes to diguise who they were we should ban those everyone now be nudist the government says that anything terrorists used must be bad. You live in Siberia, tough luck no shoes no clothes because terroists use them.
This makes the same amount of sense as banning Wifi or lighters.
Remember...
… if you’re sharing wifi you’re sharing TERRORISM!
The terriers are people !
Ban people !
Wifi
I think it’s a good move. It’s high time the govt used the resources of the highly skilled tech force in India to proper use
Waiting ...
… for the inevitable ban on flight schools and aeroplanes …
Hmmm...
Sounds like the US fetish with shoes in airports. One failed attempt and everyone goes barefoot for years.
I think we should ban letters. They are used far too often in communication terror plans.
terriers?
Nice #10. Terrorist sleeper cells masquarading as terriers. Ban dog shows and pets?
Government, in order to save their face, have to take some action. So guess what technology suffers – no one is going to crib about it right!!

What is Open WiFi ?
Hey Friends!
Do you really know what is Open WiFi.
I think terrorists on a side but hackers, spammers and your neighbor would love it.
I am to setup so many WiFi Free hotspots in my town but I am to make all of those hotspots secure. Simply I place my Cell Phone Number in “Free-***-***-****” SSID.
Free WiFi is Fun but keep it secure.
Thanks
