On Facebook the man created the NSA Spion Schutzbund/NSA spy protection league, a tongue and cheek way of protesting the NSA in their nation.
They toured an NSA site and took photos from outside the perimeter on German soil. They provided a tour and used humor to try and lure the NSA out of hiding. Imagine those trips to the zoo to see your favorite creature and it won't come out of it's den. That was the peak of the excitement.
Bing translation from their Facebook page:
How it all began: dear ladies and gentlemen, the Board of Directors of the NSA spy Schutzbund e.V. weekend at the dagger complex invites you warmly to our first discovery and monitoring.
Quite along the lines of species protected by us, the NSA spies, we want to go to the scene. On-site, we can together explore the NSA spies endangered Habitat and replace us about their day and night activities. If we have very good luck, we get perhaps a real NSA spy with our own eyes see.
Sound not exciting?
To round off the programme, we are looking for even professionals who are versed in the everyday life of the NSA spies and want to share their knowledge with us.
We recommend you to bring one or more of the following equipment: - many, many cameras, as the creatures of our desire are very shy and sensitive to light.
Cladding for example in the form of huge cardboard cameras to disguise us. Maybe is it possible closer they used to get or to even contact.
Need about NSA spies for those interested.
-Enough food for one day. The Habitat of the NSA spies is very sparse and there are no shopping facilities in the vicinity.
Paper and pen. Maybe make it so one of us to friends with an NSA spy and is invited to his lair. In this case, we must necessarily hold the name of the lucky ones.
Flowers of all kinds to spice the Habitat of the NSA spies something.
We are very pleased about an active participation.
Your Board of Directors (Translated by Bing)

Certain that this would be the end of his troubles, was surprised when the policemen returned several hours later - this time with a secret service agent.
The activist was subjected to questioning once again. Bangert says the agent inquired about his political views and asked him if his co-walkers planned acts of violence to be directed at the heavily guarded base.
Bangert says he was then advised to take the event off the internet, to prevent it from escalating. The Blockupy activist was baffled.
“All there is, is a fence, with nothing behind it - everything is underground. No one is interested," he said.
Despite the advice, Bangert and around 80 other participants went ahead with the walk on Saturday. Although Bangert enjoyed the nice weather, he said the group did not manage to lay their eyes on any actual spies - despite trying to lure them with bird calls and other naturalist tricks.
