Suspicious Van

[Frank]

I've seen a similar van here in Pasadena, CA around 6 months ago with
Michigan plates. Vehicle, antenna quantity and lcd description are almost
identical.

I was next to him at a stoplight and I asked him what all the equipment was
for. He said they were mapping wireless in the area for a WISP. He was
confused when I asked him about wardriving.
