They’re going to need round the clock security, as the protests won’t stop once it’s built. I'm a bit skeptical of this particular claim as the existing telescopes haven't needed round the clock security. Generally speaking, I never felt the telescopes were as controversial as is made out. Rather, the opposition is a small, but very vocal minority. That said, I can see why TMT is particularly contentious as any new construction is an obvious point of resistance, and TMT is so much larger than the existing telescopes.
