Americans Deserve Answers on Quiet Skies Surveillance

The White House has decided to terminate the unconstitutional program, raising questions about its initial existence. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the discontinuation of the Transportation Security Agency’s Quiet Skies surveillance initiative. President Donald Trump’s administration has been making crucial moves to reverse the federal government’s misuse against American citizens. The program, costing $200 million annually, failed to prevent any terrorist attacks since its inception. Instead, it targeted innocent Americans, including government officials, without cause. The surveillance even extended to monitoring former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard during a domestic flight in 2024. The program’s invasive nature and abuse of power have been highlighted by various incidents, such as labeling a pilot’s wife a “domestic terrorist” for attending a political rally. Despite years of stonewalling congressional oversight, efforts are being made to uncover the truth and ensure accountability. Secretary Noem’s decision to end the program is a positive step, but further transparency and cooperation are needed to address the program’s past abuses. The public deserves to know the full extent of the misconduct and prevent similar occurrences in the future. The balance between liberty and security is crucial, and the government must uphold transparency and respect citizens’ rights.
