Attract attention and make new friends with the WiFi Detector T-Shirt

ThinkGeek is offering the WiFi Detector T-Shirt just in time for holiday shopping. If you have any tech geeks on your list, this shirt is almost a must buy. The WiFi Detector T-Shirt will find broadcasting WiFi signals and notify you by flashing indicator lights across your chest. Never be without a WiFi connection again. We took the shirt for a test drive recently to one of our favorite lunch destinations.

What does that shirt do

What does that shirt do

The shirt will attract attention. This is the third Indian waiter to ask me what my shirt was doing.
I got the feeling that they were concerned that the shirt might be attacking their network or something. When I told them what it was doing I got that “Crazy Americans,” look.
