On July 4th, a group of U.S. activist organizations flew an airship over the National Security Agency’s massive data center in Bluffdale, Utah, in protest of the agency’s overzealous data collection from the global communications networks.
The group consisted of representatives from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Greenpeace and the Tenth Amendment Center.

The EFF posted a video of preparations for the NSA flyover and the actual flyover Tuesday:
