House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer has initiated an investigation into the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Quiet Skies program, which operated under the Biden administration. The program, costing taxpayers $200 million annually, was designed for passenger surveillance but reportedly failed to prevent any terrorist attacks. Comer alleges that the program was misused to target political opponents and provide VIP exemptions to connected Democrats. The Quiet Skies program was discontinued during the Trump administration, but Comer seeks to uncover the extent of abuses and favoritism during Biden's tenure. The investigation focuses on concerns that unelected bureaucrats had unchecked power to surveil American citizens, potentially using the program as a political weapon.
