    That quiet skies scoop was wildly interesting
    I think its fair to say that the air marshall person seems like they were perfectly happy with the program when it was targeting probably-innocent "suspected terrorists" before jan 6th and is just up-in-arms due to it now surveilling a different type of probably-innocent "suspected terrorist"...
    Really came across like she was saying: "I got into this job to surveil innocent BROWN people, not jan-6'rs".
    Obviously speculation - Just an impression i got from a few of her turns of phrase and her referring to congress as "the swamp".
    Seemed to be a real "I only hate this program now that we are tracking the potential terrorists that I happen to like" situation
    Genuine civil liberty concern, dont get me wrong. But the breaching of the civil liberties of muslim Americans, pre jan-6th, didn't seem to worry her. So its a bit rich that shes concerned only now.
    Still a worthy issue to bring up, even if I detest the clear bias in what she was saying

      She asserts that the surveillance program is illegal, i.e. the one that she's being paid to carry out. Um, maybe stop doing it then if you really believe that and would like to avoid prosecution. "But I was just following orders".

    When Sonya keeps referring to congress as "the swamp" it kind of undoes her whole argument because it makes her obviously a far right wing fan, instead of someone that is just non-political, but focused on the tasks her department actually takes care of. Makes her feel like her argument isn't fact based 100 percent.

      When I learned about the war of Pakistan on Bangladesh and how they targeted educated civilians, it made me blood boil. Then I learn Nixon and Kissinger tried to intimidate India into not intervening and stopping the genocide in Bangladesh (all supposedly in the name of fighting communism) and my mind was set.
      Bangladesh still suffers from consequence of those targeted killings on civilians that US ally Pakistan carried out. When it came down to it, Kissinger had no issue giving up ALL morality for even medium to small geopolitical goals. I believe this will do more harm to the US in the long run, since it turns many common people of the world against the US, it tarnishes our image and provides credibility to the narratives that putin, for example, now tries to push.

    That was really interesting about the TSA and Quiet Skies program. I went looking for a profile of Sonya Labosco and found her on LinkedIn. Sonya's LinkedIn posts are far right and imply strong favorability to Trump. However, in the absence of any fact checks or counter arguments (why is there such a vacuum?), one has to take Sonya cautiously at her word. @Chas, I encourage you to follow up with fact checking or additionally stories on this.
