While the Biden administration placed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist, the FBI released into the U.S. on a special parole the Pakistani man who sought to plan an assassination of Donald Trump and other politicians.
According to several whistleblowers, Gabbard – a military officer and former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate – was placed on a watchlist under Quiet Skies, a TSA surveillance program designed to focus law enforcement resources on travelers that present an elevated risk to aviation security.
Gabbard confirmed the heightened security attention on her in an interview with journalist Matt Taibi. “The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” Gabbard said. “Everything lines up to the day.”
She described how when she boarded a flight, TSA agents conducted a thorough screening, patting down every inch, searching all corners of her luggage, and individually inspected her electronic devices.
