I agree - I'm all for free expression (and to some extent sympathize with the larger objectives of Greenpeace, even though I think they're out to lunch on a lot of the specifics), but stunts like this end up costing taxpayer money. I would like to see them charged for the costs associated with their stunts, including the costs of emergency response crews, security, removal of the banner, and any disruptions to other people's jobs.
