Secretary Kristi Noem just pulled the plug on a corrupt program that exposed one Democrat Senator’s dirty secret

The Biden administration turned America’s security agencies into their personal political hit squad.

Now one of their most shocking abuses just came to light.

And Secretary Kristi Noem just pulled the plug on a corrupt program that exposed one Democrat Senator’s dirty secret.

TSA’s Quiet Skies program gets the axe after stunning corruption revelations

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dropped a bombshell Thursday when she announced the Trump administration was ending the Transportation Security Administration’s Quiet Skies program.

The program has been around since 2010 and was supposedly designed to keep Americans safe by monitoring suspicious travelers.

But it turns out the program never stopped a single terrorist attack during its entire existence.

Even worse, it cost taxpayers a staggering $200 million every year.

Secretary Noem revealed that the program "under the guise of ‘national security,’ was used to target political opponents and benefit political allies" of the Biden administration.

The Quiet Skies program used undercover federal air marshals to secretly watch and follow certain travelers through airports and even on flights.

These air marshals would take detailed notes about passengers’ behavior and report back to TSA headquarters.

Most Americans had no idea they were being surveilled and found it nearly impossible to get themselves removed from the watchlist.

"It is clear that the Quiet Skies program was used as a political rolodex of the Biden Administration—weaponized against its political foes and exploited to benefit their well-heeled friends," Secretary Noem declared.

Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen caught red-handed in watchlist scandal

The corruption of the Quiet Skies program became crystal clear when DHS investigators uncovered damning evidence about how Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire abused her power.

According to DHS documents, Shaheen’s husband William "Billy" Shaheen was flagged by TSA in July 2023 "as Co-Traveler with a Known or Suspected Terrorist."

Billy Shaheen, a Lebanese-American attorney, had been traveling with someone who was on the FBI’s terrorism watchlist.

DHS revealed that Billy Shaheen "traveled with a Known or Suspected Terrorist on three occasions."

Any normal American would expect to face enhanced security screening after being caught traveling with a suspected terrorist multiple times.

But the Shaheens aren’t normal Americans – they’re Washington insiders with political connections.

Shortly after Billy Shaheen was flagged, "Senator Shaheen’s office made an inquiry to TSA about the Senator’s husband receiving enhanced screening on these two flights."

When Billy Shaheen was flagged a second time in October 2023 for traveling with the same suspected terrorist, Senator Shaheen took matters into her own hands.

She personally contacted then-TSA Administrator David Pekoske to complain about her husband being on a watchlist.

Democrat Senator gets VIP treatment while political opponents get harassed

What happened next exposes the shocking corruption at the heart of the Biden administration’s security apparatus.

Just two days after Senator Shaheen met with Administrator Pekoske, Billy Shaheen "was then approved by then Assistant Administrator for Intelligence and Analysis Nykamp to be added to the Secure Flight Exclusion List."

This meant Billy Shaheen was completely exempt from any future TSA screening or surveillance – despite having traveled with a suspected terrorist three times.

He stayed on this VIP exclusion list for 18 months until the Trump administration took office and removed him.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration was using the same program to target "non-politically aligned members like then-Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard" who "received additional screening and monitoring by Federal Air Marshals."

Tulsi Gabbard, who is now President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, was subjected to invasive surveillance simply because she challenged the Washington establishment.

Billy Shaheen "was hardly the only high-profile individual that was placed on this exclusion list" which "also included members of foreign royal families, political elites, professional athletes, and journalists."

Two-tiered justice system exposed by Trump administration investigation

The contrast couldn’t be more stark.

A Democrat Senator’s husband who repeatedly traveled with suspected terrorists got a free pass from security screening.

But a decorated military veteran and former congresswoman who dared to criticize the establishment got put under surveillance.

This is exactly the kind of weaponization of government agencies that President Trump promised to end.

"TSA’s critical aviation and security vetting functions will be maintained, and the Trump Administration will return TSA to its true mission of being laser-focused on the safety and security of the traveling public," Secretary Noem explained.

The corruption runs so deep that Secretary Noem is calling for a full Congressional investigation to uncover the complete scope of the abuses.

"I am calling for a Congressional investigation to unearth further corruption at the expense of the American people and the undermining of US national security," Noem stated.

Senator Shaheen’s office tried to spin the scandal by claiming she didn’t know her husband was on any watchlist.

But the timeline of events tells a different story.

She contacted TSA immediately after her husband was flagged, met personally with the TSA Administrator, and her husband was removed from the watchlist just two days later.

That’s not a coincidence – that’s corruption in action.

The swamp fights back as Trump drains it

The Shaheen scandal perfectly illustrates why President Trump’s promise to drain the swamp resonated with millions of Americans.

For too long, Washington insiders like Senator Shaheen have operated by a different set of rules than ordinary Americans.

They use their political connections to get special treatment while weaponizing government agencies against their political opponents.

But those days are over.

The Trump administration is systematically dismantling the corrupt programs that the Biden administration used to target conservatives and protect Democrats.

Secretary Noem made it clear that "the Trump Administration will restore the integrity, privacy, and equal application of the law for all Americans, including aviation screening."

The end of the Quiet Skies program is just the beginning.

President Trump and his team are conducting a comprehensive review of all federal agencies to root out political bias and corruption.

Americans deserve a government that treats everyone equally under the law – not one that gives VIP treatment to Democrat donors while harassing political opponents.

Senator Shaheen announced in March that she won’t seek re-election in 2026.

Maybe she realized her days of abusing her political power were numbered.

The American people are finally getting the equal justice under law that the Constitution promises.

And corrupt politicians like Jeanne Shaheen are discovering that their get-out-of-jail-free cards have expired.
