What is the NSA Civilian Monitoring Monitoring System?

On my iPhone, I go to settings, then Wi-Fi. When I look at the selections, I see all my options including my own in-home Wi-Fi service. One the options is: "NSA Civilian Monitoring Monitoring System" which is locked. What the heck is this?

Lmao that is the back-door on your phone that allows the criminals in your country to "spy" on your phone.

LOL. If the NSA was secretly spying on you, why would they make it obvious?

Maybe someone just changed their Wi-Fi network to that name. I can easily change my network to say "FBI_SECRET" or something along those lines.

It most likely is some neighbor just messing around with their Wi-Fi network's name. I can guarantee you that the NSA would be a lot more discreet with their naming and equipment.

Bet you won't try to join that one will you! First, you or anyone else, can NAME your Wi-Fi anything you like. I have seen many that say "FBI Hacking Van", "NSA Mobile Unit", "XXX Police Monitor", "DEA", "CIA One", and many many others. It is just someone who thinks that will keep people from messing with that SSID! Usually, they are correct particularly if they use WPA2 and a good solid passphrase!

Someone nearby has named their network that. They probably put that name on there to scare people.

  • Parental iMessage Monitoring? I want to text my friend from Canada, who has an iPhone, but I don't want to explain having international friends to my mom, because that would lead to telling her about my blog and I don't want that either. Will she see that I've texted someone from Canada on the phone bill if I use iMessage? Or will it show up at all?
