TSA aims to punish an employee with the Federal Air Marshal Service who made protected disclosures that unearthed deep-state misconduct.
Whistleblower Retaliation Allegation
A whistleblower watchdog group, Empower Oversight, has alleged that the TSA is retaliating against an employee who made disclosures about deep-state surveillance misconduct, including surveillance of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Investigation of Whistleblower
The TSA has initiated an investigation into an individual believed to be a whistleblower following information they disclosed. This includes allegations that Gabbard was subjected to surveillance after publicly criticizing the Biden administration.
Concerns Raised by Empower Oversight
Tristan Leavitt, President of Empower Oversight, expressed concern that the TSA's actions constitute retaliation against a lawful whistleblower, arguing that characterizing a whistleblower's disclosure as a leak is illegal.
Surveillance of Gabbard Details
Gabbard has been reportedly monitored on eight flights since she made critical remarks about the administration. This has raised serious questions about the scope and legality of surveillance practices conducted by the TSA.
Call for Investigation into TSA Practices
Leavitt has urged the leadership of the TSA to investigate the conduct of the agency and address the allegations of improper surveillance rather than retaliate against whistleblowers bringing these issues to light.
