    “The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.”

    This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.

    “It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.

    “I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging of the blazers,” she says. “They’re squeezing or padding down underwear, bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.” Agents unzipped the lining inside the roller board of her suitcase, patting down every inch inside the liner. Gabbard was asked to take every piece of electronics out and turn each on, including her military phone and computer.

    That was the other strange thing. “I use my military ID to get through security sometimes,” says Gabbard, who among other things traveled to her reservist base in Oklahoma during this period. Once, she was unable to get through security with military ID. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent saw the “SSSS” marker. “The TSA agent said, ‘Why are you Quad-S? You’re in the military,’” explains Gabbard. “And I said, ‘That’s exactly what I’m wondering.’

    Examples of “Quad-S” boarding passes. Tulsi Gabbard’s air tickets, as well as those of her husband Abraham, were similarly marked
    Gabbard goes on: “Then I said, ‘The only thing I can think of is, I work in politics.’ And he said, oh.”

    The agent told her he’d encountered supporters of a certain former president who’d had no issues traveling before, but were now “marked quad-S every time they traveled.” Gabbard shrugged and slogged through, still encountering extra security. At one flight, she says, there were “at least six TSA agents doing additional screening,” along with canine support. “There were dogs in Dallas when we got there, dogs at a couple of the gates.”

      Elect Kamala-lama-ding-dong and it will get even worse.

      When Giggles and Snitch come to power, just think what they can do with a nationwide hotline.

          The problem with stories like these is you never hear the government’s side of the story.

            THat's right. Do you think that the government gave her any explanation other than, "Because you pissed us off and because we can"?

            Someone made the decision - she has a right to know who that was and what the basis is.

              I’m not sure that’s true. Forget Tulsi for a moment, and imagine Abu Muhammad Al-Baghdadi (I just made that name up).

              We find out some shit on him due to intelligence assets in the Middle East.

              Does he have a right to know that? Do you want him to have that right?

                Is Mo an American citizen? If not, he has no right. If he is, let him hire an attorney.

                Allah knows they could use the work.

                      Obviously over the line.

                      Education is extremely important.

                          Maybe they use her for training air marshals? Could also be a simple mistake. I have heard of other people were mistakenly put on the list. Seems like she is really not "important" enough to be targeted just because she spoke out against whatever.

                          (And if she thinks her random search is bad, have her travel through Nigeria. They do all of what happened to her, and then you have to pay off the airport security at the end of it all. LOL)
