Should the new NSA Utah Data Center be your line in the sand ?

Tens of thousands of U.S. Citizens *want* to protest over PRISM (and to show support for Snowden). Millions more may join if the protest is well organized and has a clear goal.

Our goal could be to prevent the NSA Utah Data Center from being completed/opened.

http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/

It's located just south of Salt Lake City. Plenty of opportunities to camp, find a hotel, etc.

From what I can tell on the map, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=40.42651176452637&lon=-111.9322943687439&zoom=16

Camp Williams Ave and Watts RD are the only 2 roads leading to the entrance. 1,000 people on each road may temporarily create a critical mass and make an effective blockade until paramilitary trucks arrive. And 2,000 people should be enough to warrant national news coverage of police/SWAT aggression towards the human blockade. Video of paramilitary vehicles driving through the human blockade will inspire/motivate others.

An orderly rotational shift of people would be arranged to always have the minimum required to keep traffic moving into the NSA Data Center without paramilitary vehicle assistance. Whether someone could come for a day or a month, they would know when they were needed to prevent normal traffic flow.

Knowing this center is being opened to spy on you, what are other non violent ideas are there to prevent it from opening ?

I think that's why they built it in the desert. (Not because the sand is a good medium for drawing lines in, but the heat)

Challenge accepted?
 
July 5th, 1776 should have been the "line in the sand."

(yeah, I know, the Constitution wasn't technically signed on the 4th)
 
There's protests there tomorrow apparently David Knight said in Bluffton UT
 
The Iraq war/PATRIOT Act were my lines in the sand, so I'm all for participating in something--but camping out in Utah is, unfortunately, not a possibility for me.
