The SST-PR-1 Mystery Solved
Last week, I noticed that a "Device" had suddenly appeared in my Airport menu: SST-PR-1 (encrypted). I'd never seen it before so I Googled around and discovered that the mysterious appearance (and disappearance) of said device is the subject of many conspiracy theorists.
Some believe it's some sort of Secret Service surveillance unit and others are convinced it is simply an indication that a Sears truck is in the area.
I am happy to report that it is indeed a Sears vehicle -- a van, to be precise. Today (only a few minutes ago) I looked out my office window to see a Sears van parked at the end a neighbo(u)rs driveway. The driver, presumably, waiting for his GPS to point him in the right direction. On a hunch, I clicked on my Airport menu and, after a few scans, the SST-PR-1 device appeared. I am but 2 feet away from my digital camera and desperately wanted to snap a picture of the device in the Airport menu with the van in the background, but alas, just yesterday, the batteries died.
Regardless of my lack of photographic evidence, since I definitely saw it, I am 110% convinced that SST-PR-1 is indeed, a Sears vehicle.
SST: Sears Service Team, perhaps?...

Those aren't sears trucks. They are just a cover for government spy agencies.
Thanks for this post. My wireless laptop picks up SST-PR-1 at random intervals as well so I got curious and Googled.
My neighbor across the street has an A & E Service truck...they are owned by Sears.
Problem solved :)
Sorry to ressurect an ancient thread: Sears Smart Toolbox is what SST stands for. It is the wireless connection between the router in my Sears van and the laptop(SST) that we carry into customers homes.
I see the SST-PR-1 on my home network everyday as well as all day long on my Ipod touch.
No government conspiracy. Just your friendly neighborhood Sears Technician.
