Whistleblower Claims About TSA Surveillance And Tulsi Gabbard Just Took An Even More Sinister Turn

Posted • August 7, 2024: Weird. Creepy. Those words are being tossed about quite a bit lately. But for all the Democrats' flailing efforts to make the schoolyard taunts stick to the GOP presidential ticket, I think we've found an instance where their application is wholly warranted: "Quiet Skies." We first caught wind (pardon the pun) of the program's recent (mis)application when a story broke over the weekend regarding the revelation that former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard had landed on the TSA surveillance list as part of its Quiet Skies program, which is, purportedly, aimed at protecting American air travelers from domestic terrorists. Stranger still was the timing of Gabbard's addition to that list. Would the TSA have us believe that Tulsi Gabbard is a suspected domestic terrorist? Why? Well, it is as you might suspect:

On Wednesday, Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, shared his firm's follow-up letter to Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari, alerting the IG to the potential retaliation and requesting that he ensure the whistleblowers are properly protected.

🚨 Empower Oversight has confirmed from whistleblowers that Tulsi Gabbard was under Quiet Skies surveillance on not just one, or two, or even three flights… She has had Air Marshals there to monitor her on EIGHT FLIGHTS since her July 23 interview with Laura Ingraham. Furthermore, TSA is mobilizing a retaliatory investigation into who made these protected whistleblower disclosures. I wrote to DHS Office of Inspector General this morning asking him to ensure these whistleblowers are protected. (…)
