Yeah, they put out an article a few years ago talking about how a limited number of SCIFs have WiFi now

Do they broadcast an SSID? They can't have "NotYourSCIF". That's my home network. Someone else is the building is using "FSB_BugsNet". Another local one i see is "CEyeA".

To be compliant with NSA TEMPEST regulations, the SSID has to be set to FBI_SURVEILLANCE_VAN_69

SCIFs are already shielded for EM, so any Wi-Fi inside of them shouldn’t make it outside of them anyway.

It's not official until you change the MAC OID to 00:20:91 as well.

WiFi and other wireless protocols seem like an elaborate, yet wildly successful, plot to make consumer comms as insecure as possible.
