Homeland Security Confirms Shaheen Husband Removed from TSA Watchlist
Multiple reports reveal that New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen intervened to have her husband, William Shaheen, removed from the TSA's Quiet Skies watchlist despite his travel alongside a known or suspected terrorist on several occasions in 2023. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized the Biden administration for politicizing the Quiet Skies program, accusing it of inconsistent application and granting preferential treatment to politically connected individuals like Shaheen's husband. Documents show that after Senator Shaheen lobbied former TSA Administrator David Pekoske, her husband received a blanket exemption from enhanced screening and was placed on a list excluding him from future random TSA checks. This preferential treatment stands in contrast to other Americans, including Tulsi Gabbard, who remained under strict Quiet Skies monitoring with little recourse. The controversy highlights concerns that the watchlist program has been weaponized for political purposes rather than applied equally for national security. The Trump administration has pledged to restore integrity and equal application of security laws in aviation screening.
