Yes a blockade for a couple of days would be a good idea however I'm afraid Europeans are being underestimated by the US so if we don't have the determination to stick to it it's not worth doing.

Yes, bad things happen over here too, but the indifference of the public has received a huge dent, with the lid now blown off the BND and GCHQ stuff. Also remember, that privacy is a huge issue for the general populace in some countries (Germany, Poland, Bulgaria).
