The Spin


The Quiet Skies program became a political weapon under Biden, targeting conservatives like Tulsi Gabbard while giving special treatment to Democratic allies. This $200 million boondoggle never stopped a single terrorist attack but was used to harass political opponents. It's time to restore equal justice and end this surveillance state overreach.

Gabbard's surveillance was justified due to her suspicious travel patterns and meetings with foreign adversaries like Assad. The program operated consistently across administrations, and dismantling it weakens national security while scapegoating dedicated TSA professionals who were simply doing their jobs.

Gabbard's placement on the watchlist was automatic and justified based on her suspicious travel patterns and associations, not political targeting. The program operated consistently across both Republican and Democratic administrations using established security protocols. Noem is politicizing national security by dismantling legitimate counterterrorism tools while scapegoating career TSA employees.
