In reply to the discussion: Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is Trump's pick for director of national intelligence [View all]snot
(10,945 posts)It was classic overreach by a security state that's a lot more terrifying to me than anything Gabbard's likely to do.
A FOIA request and other official requests have been made to the TSA to explain why Gabbard was on a watchlist, and as far as I know, no reasonable response has been made; nor as far as I know has any other cogent explanation been proposed other than that she's been critical of the war policies of the Biden admin including Harris.
