Mobile Wifi Backpack (fwd from brian-slashdotnews at hyperreal.org)

[Tyler Durden]

Well, we actually discussed  a similar configuration in the context of mass 
demonstration. Such a configuration could prevent a Goonsquad shakedown of 
data/photos/videos, particularly when the WiFi device is acting like a 
router, and particularly when this router is one of many in a sea of 
routers, all forwarding the info-stuff.

To my knowledge, Variola cleverly dubbed it eJazeera.
