And try to pass it off as a few discontented people.

As on January 19, there need to be protests everywhere. And calls to Congress members.

This weekend convinced me. Demonstrations at airports give protestors the most bang for the buck.
Flood the terminals and roads leading to them with protestors, shut down few major hubs at peak hours and you choke off the nations lifeblood in the most efficient manner.

Overkill!

Just a few "broken down" clunkers and protestors clogging the access roads will wreak havoc. A few hundred activists can stand in DHS lines to slow that process. For the really adventurous, a person jumping the security checkpoints have been known to shut terminals for hours.

Co-ordinate these actions over 50 major airports and literally disrupt the economy. They'll notice that.
