Where is Congress on this???? Anyone and everyone associated with this program should be fired charged and imprisoned. And frankly beaten, within an inch of their lives.

I have come to believe that our "government" is nothing more than a dog and pony show orchestrated to distract and divide the masses. They have no power. Not really. Those who do have control and power (what I call the predator class) work behind the scenes as they always have. Democracy is dead and has been for a long time. We've been living in an illusion.

Comment from the TSA on Tulsi Gabbard and the "Quiet Skies" Program

What was asked, how they replied.

Matt Taibbi

Aug 9

Here's the latest from Matt Taibbi on this abomination:

Before publishing WednesdayтАЩs interview with former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, I sent a query to the Transportation Security Administration. Was it true Gabbard was placed under surveillance via its тАЬQuiet SkiesтАЭ program? If so, why? If not, why did she receive тАЬQuad-SтАЭ security designations? Was the firm Empower Oversight wrong to claim the TSA commenced a retaliatory investigation into identities of whistleblowers?

A reply, attributable to a TSA Spokesperson, has come in:

TSA uses multi-layered security processes to protect the nationтАЩs transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. TSAтАЩs Quiet Skies program uses a risk-based approach to identify passengers and apply enhanced security measures on some domestic and outbound international flights.тАпTo safeguard sensitive national security measures, TSA does not confirm or deny whether any individual has matched to a risk-based rule. These rules are applied to a limited number of travelers for a limited period of time.тАпSimply matching to a risk-based rule does not constitute derogatory information about an individual.тАпQuiet Skies is further described here in the Secure Flight Privacy Impact Assessment.

In other words, they did it. And they dare us to do anything about it. Our government is in the hands of criminals.
