GOP Senator Rand Paul has written to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) asking for answers as to why the agency appears to be using terrorist watch lists as a way of surveilling Americans according to their political opinions.
Paul addressed the letter to TSA Administrator David Pekoske, and cited recent revelations that former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard as well as a woman married to a federal air marshal whistleblower have both been placed on the ‘Quiet Skies’ program watch list and subjected to enhanced surveillance.
Gabbard was seemingly added to the watch list after a Fox News interview during which she criticised the ‘deep state’, while the air marshal’s wife was added after attending Donald Trump’s speech on January 6th, despite not moving to the Capitol building after it.
“Taken together, these incidents seem to be part of a broader pattern in which TSA has repurposed Quiet Skies to surveil individuals based on their political activities, even when there is no evidence of wrongdoing,” Paul wrote.
The Senator further noted that the incidents “echo concerns highlighted in a previous report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), which identified critical deficiencies in TSA’s management of the Quiet Skies program.”
Deficiencies include “insufficient oversight and inadequate safeguards to protect against the misuse of passenger data,” Paul added.
The Senator has requested all documentation relating to the procedure of adding people to the ‘Quiet Skies’ program.
Whistleblowers have confirmed that Gabbard has been monitored by air marshals on at least eight flights in the past month.
As we previously highlighted, Gabbard is suing the Biden Harris Administration over the matter.

I’m sure the commies will take your strongly worded letter to heart.
Because conservatives are not violent enough. Marxists engineer struggle because nobody wants their policies. The center majority is of no use to them so they pit the hard left and hard right against each other to enact policies by force.
We saw it with the scamdemic mandates, BLM riots and ongoing race baiting, gender ideology in elementary schools, war funding in irrelevant Slavic nations and now open borders. Same situation in the UK and western satellites like Canada and Australia. The Islamic EU is in its final stage of disintegration and really doesn’t fit anywhere politically. A weird mutation doomed for civil war.
In simple terms they’re trying to piss off as many normies as possible in the west to claim the right is dangerous and must be subdued. That is communism which always fails unless the US Federal Reserve supports it like they have for two decades in China.
The Judaic Nazis aren’t worried about foreign terrorists!
The Nazis traffic MILLIONS of them to our former White Christian Homelands to kill us!
The Judaics are only worried about HUMANS (White people)!
That they might grow balls someday and fight back, like they did in Free Germany in the 1930s and 1940s!
