Scheme that tracked Tulsi Gabbard failed to ‘stop a single terrorist attack’
Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump’s head of the Department of Homeland Security, has announced that the “Quiet Skies” program, used by the government to surveil airlines passengers, is being shut down.
“Today, I’m announcing TSA is ending the Quiet Skies Program, which since its existence has failed to stop a SINGLE terrorist attack while costing US taxpayers roughly $200 million a year,” she announced.
“DHS and TSA have uncovered documents, correspondence, and timelines that clearly highlight the inconsistent application of Quiet Skies. The program, under the guise of ‘national security,’ was used to target political opponents and benefit political allies of the Biden administration,” she continued.
