TSA Administrator David Pekoske said a surveillance program known as “Quiet Skies,” which has been criticized for tracking American citizens not suspected of any crimes, “makes an awful lot of sense.”
“Our job overall as an agency, and the air marshals in particular, in flight, are working to make sure that we mitigate any risks that could occur in aircraft at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 feet,” Pekoske told CBS News in his first TV interview since the “Quiet Skies” program was disclosed to the public. “If an agency responsible for security has some information that might indicate that there may be — emphasis on may be — more risk with a particular passenger, providing some mitigation or some risk management on the flight is a very important and very reassuring thing to me.”
“Quiet Skies,” first reported by The Boston Globe, dates back to 2011. It uses computer software to flag travelers, including U.S. citizens, who could pose a threat but may not have been accused of a crime and are not on the No Fly List.
In March, the program expanded to include assigning teams of air marshals to observe certain flyers’ behavior while at airports and on flights.

WHERE’S THE TRUTH WITH THE TSA
“WE ARE STOPPING SCREENING AT 100 – 200 AIRPORTS AS THE THREAT DOESN’T WARRANT SCREENING”.
“The sky’s are so dangerous that our air marshals and TSA needs to spy on private citizens who have committed no crime.”
Our government does nothing well or honestly they are all corr pt from Obama on down led by he and his filthy administration. Wee see how they fouled up the FBI/DOJ/State Dept/VA/NSA/TSA/IRS and everything they touch smells like Chicago.Obama and Hillary had a long plot to destroy Donald Trump involving a phony Russian scandal putting Trump in the middle and FBI man Peter Strzok and friends sending Emails back and forth promising to stop Trump from winning and create a giant scandal using Clapper, Brennan, Lynch,Obama, Hillary, 8 other known FBI people and the entire media and Hollywood playing the game of “destroy Trump” it was almost successful but several Fox News people stopped them and now America is waiting for jail for all those involved it is 50 times worse than Watergate and Fake News will not report it.10 Justice Department employees have been fired and Strzok has been humiliated with his lies and cheating on his wife, a complete fraud.The best book, so far, is “The Russian Hoax” By Gregg Jarrett it tells all with facts and endless documentation.Comey told Strzok to “make Hillary innocent” so he changed the text from “gross negligence” which is a felony to “slight mistake” which is a joke!!!”
