Not really. If you are blocking the public right of way, you can be arrested. Most stores are on private property, not public so they can reserve the right to refuse service to you as well.
This is why those involved in sit-ins have been arrested in the past, and those on-strike have to 'keep moving' and can't just do their own sit-in.
Sadly this doesn't cut it. It's easier to take someone who was a cleared cleaning staff member and train them to do other tasks than clear these people. The process can take up to 24 months if you have a checkered history.
There's a lot of places to go with this, including over classifying data, etc.. that typically happens, and getting it revisited with the right class authority. You have to look no further than the SBU reports that come out from GAO. It makes it really tough, combined with existing regulations set in stone by congress.
A lot of these jobs require that you be a US Citizen in order to pass the background check to be granted a security clearance. There are lots of jobs posted at clearancejobs.com and other sites that reflect this need. It may take 6-9 months for that process to complete itself (or up to ~2 years in some cases) but once that gauntlet has been run, it becomes much easier the next time.
If you're a qualified networking or IT geek that meets those criteria, there are plenty of jobs available.

Some of these jobs are serious cash $119k+ ($10k/mo)
There were ~1800 players in Cyberstorm 3. It's not just for Government, lots of industry people participated.

Flying was a lot of fun back in the day. If the US48 ever got a serious train system (eg: Shinkansen speeds) I would love to do that instead. The problem has been it's NEITHER time or cost effective to take the train. The plane is Faster and Cheaper and less prone to delays related to congestion. I've heard worse horror stories about trains being days late on long-haul routes vs any experiences in Air travel.
Flying too much does have its perks, auto-upgrades and the short security line. It also makes it nicer when I travel with the wife and family.
You wanted to post this instead:

I recall someone saying this about a provider (in Ohio iirc), paranoid that the FBI was overstepping their bounds and it turns out they were a bunch of criminals. Now if only we could get peoples machines taken away that were compromised as part of spam operations...
A sad note on the autorun activity. The challenges US-CERT has are complex as they have little ability to enforce sane standards and are just as the name says a response team. Once you formulate a response, someone has to execute it, and the federal government is one of the largest enterprises out there, certainly if you include all the contractors as well. It will be interesting to see if there is a shift away from bah to career feds.
At the same time, everyone makes mistakes and Phil has always shown himself to be a person who generally "gets it" compared to others I've bumped into at GLB. The same is true for any org, fed or not.
