Three activist groups opposed to the NSA's mass surveillance programs flew a brightly colored airship over the agency's Utah data center today, displaying the message "NSA illegal spying below" for all to see. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Greenpeace, and and the Tenth Amendment Center orchestrated the demonstration, using a 135-foot-long airship owned by Greenpeace. The airship also promoted the website Stand Against Spying — a collaborative effort between the three groups that allows visitors to look up whether or not their congressional representatives have opposed the recently unveiled government surveillance efforts.

 

Hah, now that's just brilliant! And there's not much that the NSA can do about this, which makes it even better! To you three activist groups who did this, excellent work, and I got a good laugh out of this.

Accidents do happen...

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

How much win would it be if someone was holding up an 'Illegal flying above' banner on the ground.

That's pretty cool, and funny. Too bad too many people could care less the NSA is spying on them. It is for "our security", after all. -_-

He sure is. :lol:

Now I'm starting to wonder if there's a Nolan North option for GPS's...  :o What if in the future, there's a Nolan North AI for your phone? I would buy that or an Optimus Prime, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Tucker, Old Snake - the almost dying, throat's going to explode voice David Hayter used -, Ali Hilis, Donna Burke, or Link AI assistant. Come on, it'd be hilarious. You could have a badass, funny, or outrageous voice. Hey, Link can you tell me where the nearest gas station is? *typical, loud Link scream* Er... Sure...  :lol:

I live just a couple of hours from there. Also, you'd think that they'd make that a no-fly zone.

This is like placing a bag full of poo on someone's doorstep - it's amateur at best. They should have set fire to the damn building, freaking creepos.

No, a massive EMP device should have been put on it, so as it flies over low and lands on top, it activates and screws up their computers.

hmm yeah that would be nice, that there is a EMP like device(or atleast wich jams their traffic) in that thing and then "accidently" turns into hindenburg 2.0 that went to far.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.
