Department of Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem on Thursday announced she is ending the Obama-era TSA “Quiet Skies” program which has failed to stop a single terrorist attack.
Quiet Skies is a program by the TSA that uses air marshals to track and observe suspicious passengers. The program’s goal is to identify travelers who may pose a risk to aviation security, in short, a terrorist.
Air marshals observe passengers’ behavior in airports and on flights. They take notes and send detailed reports to the TSA. The program is an expansion of a practice where air marshals surveil subjects of open FBI terrorism investigations.
Ordinary American citizens on the Quiet Skies list find it nearly impossible to remove themselves from TSA’s enhanced screening directory.
Rather than going after actual terrorists, the Quiet Skies program was weaponized against political enemies and J6 defendants.
Noem said she is ending Quiet Skies and launching an investigation into Biden’s weaponization of the program.
“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,” Noem said.
“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 said.
“In addition to conducting our own internal investigation, I am calling for a full and thorough Congressional investigation to uncover further corruption through this program,” Noem added.

This week it was reported that Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s husband, William Shaheen, was put on the US Government’s ‘Quiet Skies’ screening list in 2023 after he traveled with an unidentified Arab-American attorney who was on the FBI’s terrorism watchlist.
However, Senator Shaheen quietly contacted then-TSA Administrator David Pekoske to have her Lebanese husband removed from the enhanced screening list.
Two days later, William Shaheen was given preferential treatment and was put on the “secure flight exclusion list” by the TSA.
