Listening dishes emblazoned with the logos of digital giants like Google and Yahoo, alongside the NSA logo.
Pictures of Obama in headphones with captions like “Yes, We Scan” and “All Your Data Is Belong To Us”, and the taglines “STASI 2.0” and “Digital Society”.
The Giant “YES WE SCAN” banner, and the pièce de résistance, strung up at Checkpoint Charlie “Entering The American Zone – Your Privacy Ends Here!”
