Is anyone in your neighborhood claiming disability?

I've heard of companies sending a PI in an unmarked car to spy on people looking to get disability but a whole van with who knows what kind of electronics ? That's a little weird unless it would be a whole family asking for it.

It's the feds. Didn't you ever watch Leverage or Burn Notice?

That sort of antenna can scan a wide frequency range, from in the low MHz range to upper GHz. Many devices transmit on those frequencies so it can be picking up anything from CB radio transmissions, to UHF/VHF stations, to WiFi, cordless phones, cell phones, and a bunch more.

pictures of said vehicle would really help us!!!


Then video of you walking up to the truck with a tinfoil hat on would make it epic.

Have one of your wireless devices check for WiFi devices nearby. If one of them is labeled "NSA"..... :hmm:
