Tulsi Gabbard claims she is on TSA watchlist due to political views

newsweek.com November 14, 2024, 02:02 AM UTC

Tulsi Gabbard claims she is on a "secret terror watchlist" by the TSA, alleging it is due to her political shift to the right and support for Donald Trump. She reported being subjected to enhanced screenings multiple times since July. Gabbard's assertions follow claims from a conservative website that federal air marshals revealed her inclusion in the TSA's "Quiet Skies" program. This program identifies travelers considered higher risk based on certain patterns. The TSA has not confirmed Gabbard's claims and has not publicly commented on her situation. Several Republican lawmakers are calling for the TSA to release records related to Gabbard and others they believe are politically targeted.
