Senator Rand Paul and others are calling the Transportation Security Administration to account for a long history of abuses by James Bovard | American Conservative

Anyone who recently traveled to Turkey was put on the list. Passengers become suspects if they change clothes or shave while in the airport.

After a person makes the Quiet Skies list, a TSA air marshal team is placed on their next flight. Marshals receive “a file containing a photo and basic information” and carefully note whether the suspect’s “appearance was different from information provided” — such as whether they have “gained weight,” are “balding” or “graying,” or have a beard or “visible tattoos.” 

TSA air marshals follow targeted travelers, even writing down their license plate numbers. Marshals ascertain whether a “subject was abnormally aware of surroundings.”--James Bovard
