The location is Schuylkill Expressway N/O Hartranft (Lat: 39.91347, Long: -75.19207). It is in rotation for 8 weeks on an 48′ x 14′ electronic billboard.
Philadelphia, PA – Taking its message beyond airports, We Won’t Fly launched a nationwide billboard campaign to further raise awareness of and activism against the TSA’s ineffective, dangerous and invasive air travel “scan and grope” procedures. The first billboard went on display in the Philadelphia area along the Schuylkill Expressway on January 26th.
The Philadelphia billboard will be seen 1.5 million times in the first month. The protest campaign is expanding beyond airport TSA checkpoints to high-visibility billboard locations to take the message to the public.

Superbowl in Arlington was something I hadn't thought of. Is it possible to get through all the minutae of arranging and getting it up before the big weekend? My guess would be no.

Call Gannett or one of the other owners of billboards, ask them the rate for an ad for a given period of time.

You know, sort of the shame idea that the City of Arlington has decided to use for sex offenders caught using prostitutes. I'd think molestation would require registering, wouldn't it?
Hey, that's an idea. Maybe someone should start a website listing names and photos of all the TSA sex offenders.

I totally support the concept and I'll probably even donate.
But I don't think the billboard is well designed for its message: Both pictures show model-gorgeous young women, rather than "ordinary people", when the goal should be to make people think about how this affects them and their family.
The focus seems to be on the "woo-hoo", rather than making a viewer think about how it would affect his 40-something, size-14 wife, or her elderly hip-replaced father, or their 13-year-old daughter.
I support the message, but the ad doesn't draw me in at all (problems of the thin and gorgeous - so what). I'd replace at least one of the pictures with easier to relate to people (y'know, the kind who show up in ads for embarrassing medical products).
