Accused Teen Bomber Detects Wireless Signal From FBI Surveillance Van, Shrugs It Off

You know that 17-year old who was arrested and accused of plotting a massacre that would rival Columbine. He stockpiled bomb-making materials and planned to blow up the local high school on the first day of school.

Well, he had advanced warning that he was under FBI surveillance and casually shrugged it off. A post on his Facebook page reveals he and a friend detected an entry for “FBI_SURVEILLANCE_VAN” while scanning for local wireless networks.

Instead of reacting with fear, horror and paranoia about possibly being tracked, the teen casually called the discovery “weird” and LMAO-ed about it. [Slashdot]
