Federal Air Marshal Describes How His Wife Was Put on TSA Domestic Terror Watch List After Attending Trump J6 Rally
American Greatness ^ | Sept 30 2025 | Debra Heine

The wife of a senior U.S. Air Marshal was branded a domestic terrorist and subjected to invasive monitoring after attending the Trump rally on the Ellipse in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, despite zero evidence linking her any unlawful activity on that day, according to a stunning new Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee report on the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Quiet Skies program.

“She was placed in the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database and, for two years, followed on domestic flights by Federal Air Marshals, who reported her movements and interactions, sometimes on a minute-by-minute basis. Her name was finally cleared only after the FBI closed its case due to mistaken identity,” Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.) stated in a press release, Monday.

The Transportation Security Administration’s Quiet Skies initiative was launched in 2010 to monitor air travelers exhibiting suspicious behaviors or travel patterns, even if they were not on official watchlists. The now canceled program reportedly failed to prevent a single act of terrorism.

Tulsi Gabbard, a combat veteran and former congresswoman, now serving as Director of National Intelligence, was also surveilled on at least five flights in 2024, according to the report.

That surveillance reportedly began just one day after Gabbard publicly criticized Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Senator Paul opened an investigation into the Quiet Skies program in 2024 after hearing it was being abused to harass law-abiding dissidents of the Biden administration.

Paul’s investigation got off to a slow start due to the Biden administration’s stonewalling and refusal to provide records, but once the Trump administration came to office, those sought after documents were quickly shaken loose.

On June 5, Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem announced the termination of the politicized Quiet Skies program.

In addition to Gabbard and the air marshal’s wife, others who were put on TSA watch lists include three Republican lawmakers after engaging in lawful political activity, at least two dozen Americans for protesting or violating mask mandates, and hundreds of Americans who traveled to Washington D.C. ahead of the January 6 protest in 2021.

The whistleblower said he was working at the Houston Field Office in July 2021, when he was shocked to discover that his own wife had been flagged as a domestic terrorist, falsely accused of entering the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Crowder said he was horrified, knowing with absolute certainty that his wife, Christine, had been nowhere near the Capitol that day because she has a physical disability that prevents her from being able to walk long distances.

The lawman said Christine had simply exercised her First Amendment right “to attend a rally for President Trump before returning to her hotel.”

He said he immediately reported the alarming error to his supervisor, noting that according to the TSA’s system, he was living with a terrorist. The special agent in charge, Crowder continued, instructed him to remain silent and let the investigation run its course. He noted that the special agent later advanced to a senior position within the agency.

How many more stories like this are going to pop up, now that somebody is finally looking at this?

Well, we’ll see how far we The Citizens get, starting with the Comey trial.

I have my doubts.

I am betting it is the ones who hate America the most - especially Conservatives - to the point where they want us to suffer : obama and all of his ilk, Biden, Harris and possibly Clinton - the female succubus one.

Hamstrung themselves with their feel goodnesses.

I wonder just how many stories like this are out there.

Since the Air Marshals were so easily corrupted, maybe they should change their name so we will all know their allegiance.

Air Marshal = Air Gestapo.

The rule of law in the Clinton Rules meant opponents were denied rights. This was how they built a dictatorship.

Freepers could certainly wonder if The Big Guy's thugs were monitoring FR and somehow identifying individuals for special attention. I've never had trouble at an airport and I recently had a small...but only small...problem renewing my LTC. But then I'm not quite as “militant” as some Freepers! ;-)

I guess she was guilty of attending the rally, that alone should have landed her in jail for five years. Afterall, we must punish these insurrectionist sympathizers to save democracy!....Nope, doesn’t work, as hard as I try to think like them it just defies common sense...

I was close enough to smell the teargas thrown by Capitol police and never hid the fact that I chose to redress a grievance with the government.

Surprisingly we have got a visit from the feds.

How is it “mistaken identity”? They thought she was a terrorist?
