In a stunning display of the political climate under the Biden Administration, Republican Representative Tulsi Gabbard has found herself on the TSA’s infamous terrorist watchlist because she had the audacity to publicly criticize the Vice President. Talk about a “Quad S” rating for speaking out! Gabbard and her husband encountered the dreaded “SSSS” stamp on their boarding passes during a recent airport visit, which is code for “Prepare yourself for an overzealous pat-down,” or as they like to call it, “enhanced security measures.” Yes, folks, nothing says “welcome to America” quite like being treated as a security risk for voicing dissent.
While it may shock some, the treatment of Gabbard is a stark reflection of the political retribution that has become all too common against those who dare to cross the Biden-Harris regime. After Gabbard stated, quite boldly, that Kamala Harris serves as nothing more than a figurehead for the Military Industrial Complex, she found herself receiving the TSA’s unsolicited “special attention.” This virtually assures that any flight she boards involves a significant entourage of security agents, complete with bomb-sniffing dogs and air marshals who, evidently, need more exercise.
RETALIATION. A few weeks ago, I had the audacity to tell the truth: that Kamala Harris would essentially be a mouthpiece and puppet of the Military Industrial Complex and National Security State. The next day, July 23, they retaliated. Sadly this is what we can expect from the… pic.twitter.com/nxddO5TGTj

In her reflections on the incident, Gabbard picked up on an article from Uncover DC that confirmed her fears about being added to the “Quiet Skies” list, a monitoring program that sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. With this “honor,” it became painfully clear to her just how brazen the political games have become under this administration. Apparently, to the Biden team, calling out the vice president’s shortcomings is equal to being a potential terrorist. Only in today’s America would one be subjected to scrutiny for telling the truth.
In her recounting of her travels, Gabbard detailed the invasive nature of the TSA’s treatments, stating agents dissected her luggage as if they were searching for contraband instead of just ensuring she was traveling with appropriate attire. All planes taken by Gabbard come equipped with a full brigade of security personnel making sure that she poses no threat—unless, of course, the threat is merely her open critique of the government. The absurdity didn’t escape her when she was unable to access her military ID at one security checkpoint, prompting the TSA agent’s bewilderment that a military member could be flagged for “Quad-S” status. Gabbard could only surmise that her political views placed her in the crosshairs of the administration’s retaliation tactics.
Despite the chaos, Gabbard remains unfazed, highlighting just how misguided the Biden-Harris team has become when they resort to such petty measures against a fellow American. It is a classic case of shooting the messenger, but the truth is Gabbard has only illuminated what many conservatives have feared: that dissent against this administration can have serious, if absurd, consequences. With every flight she boards, it’s a reminder of just how far political correctness has gone and the lengths some will go to silence opposition. If this is the new America, beware of speaking truth to power because you might just find yourself on the TSA’s VIP list for “extra scrunity.”
