🚨 The Federal Air Marshal Service under Secretary Mullin is a leadership disaster.🚨
Air marshals are expected to answer for every call they make at 35,000 feet. Why should the people running the agency get a pass on the ground?
Mullin, name one senior leader you’ve held accountable.

We have FAMS flying drones instead of being on flights, that's reassuring....
Air marshals were grounded? They are flying drones now, that's the DHS TSA plan. On Nov. 9, a United 2174 passenger threatened a bomb and tried to enter the cockpit. Was he on DHS TSA’s radar? NO, but Tulsi Gabbard was, air marshals surveilled her under Quiet Skies. Americans deserve answers. @FAMS_AMNC
🚨 ATTEMPTED HIJACKING!!UNITED FLIGHT 2174 SENT A HIJACK ALERT. NO FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS ON BOARD!!
On Nov. 9, a passenger allegedly claimed to have a bomb and tried to enter the cockpit on a flight from Newark to New Orleans. DHS says he had been deported twice and had a criminal history involving bomb threats and terroristic threats.
Secretary Mullin, the flying public deserves answers.
▪️ Were any Federal Air Marshals aboard Flight 2174?
▪️ How many air marshals were flying missions nationwide that night? How many supervisors were flying?
▪️ What did DHS know about the suspect before he boarded? Did passenger vetting flag him?
A Senate report found that TSA assigned air marshals to monitor Tulsi Gabbard on at least five flights under Quiet Skies. DHS should explain what put her under surveillance and whether its vetting picked up the suspect’s reported history.
The crew got Flight 2174 safely on the ground. Now DHS owes the public a straight answer about how it deploys the people charged with protecting our flights.
America deserves answers. America deserves better.

We keep warning Americans it’s only a matter of time.

NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested on a Newark to New Orleans United flight last night for allegedly storming the cockpit and claiming to have a bomb, leading to United putting out a hijack alert for the plane, is a 2x previously deported Honduran illegal alien.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s office once the flight landed at MSY (New Orleans airport) and he has been charged with felony bomb threat, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct.
Per DHS - Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.
He is currently being held without bond by law enforcement in Louisiana.

We need to prioritize our aviation security as al-Qaeda’s new aviation plot is no joke.
The Watch List That Never Caught a Terrorist | Sonya LaBosco & David Londo | Ep. 481
Sonya LaBosco is a former Virginia state trooper who became a federal air marshal in 2002, one of the last classes required to pass the old tactical pistol course. She was medically retired in 2014 and now runs the Air Marshal National Council as its executive director. David Londo joined the service in 2006 and spent 20 years on aircraft, including time as a recruiter, before retiring. He is the council's president. Together they spent years working with the Boston Globe, Judicial Watch, and congressional oversight committees to expose the Quiet Skies program, and they are now producing a documentary called Watchlisted in America.
This conversation covers how a program meant to find threats to aviation turned into undercover surveillance of citizens who were never suspected of anything. A computer flagged travel habits, a team of three marshals was dispatched to shadow the person, and after-action reports came back saying the same thing every time: not a threat. They walk through how it expanded after January 6, how an air marshal ended up assigning his own wife's surveillance detail, and why a Senate investigation and an inspector general audit found zero threats ever caught.
We also get into the pre-9/11 standards that got thrown out, why they want the program pulled out of TSA and rebuilt as a small specialized unit, the holes in private aviation and the northern border, and a geotracking contract they say has quietly replaced Quiet Skies.

MOST OF THE SAME PEOPLE ARE STILL IN CHARGE
🚨 YEARS OF WATCHDOG WARNINGS. WHO WAS HELD ACCOUNTABLE?
GAO and DHS’s inspector general documented repeated failures involving the Federal Air Marshal Service:
✈️ DEPLOYMENT: Resources divided between domestic and international flights without fully accounting for risk. International deployment decisions lacked documented rationales.
👁️ QUIET SKIES: Inadequate planning, oversight, and performance measures. TSA did not consistently follow its own guidance—and could not assure the surveillance program enhanced aviation security as intended.
🚧 BORDER DEPLOYMENTS: Air marshals sent to the Southwest border without an assessment of the operational risks to their transportation-security mission. Missing baseline measures prevented TSA from determining the impact.
😴 FATIGUE: Shift-length and rest-period guidelines existed, but FAMS did not monitor actual hours against them. Leadership could not determine how often marshals exceeded those safeguards.
🩺 WORKFORCE HEALTH: No comprehensive assessment of workforce health despite marshals reporting sleep deprivation and other health concerns.
⚖️ DISCRIMINATION: A prevention plan left incompletely implemented because management lost focus. GAO documented 230 discrimination complaints during FY2016–2018—complaints, not 230 proven violations.
🎯 EFFECTIVENESS: TSA lacked methods to assess how effectively its aviation-security countermeasures, including FAMS, deterred attacks.
These are findings from the government’s own watchdogs.
The American people should demand measurable security results, meaningful oversight, and leadership that protects the people protecting passengers.

🚨HE IS STILL IN CHARGE🚨
TSA’s Brian Belcher owes Americans answers. This Senate report says FAMS leadership was “comfortable” with its actions after innocent Americans were watchlisted.
Comfortable? Americans deserve accountability—not a leadership circle congratulating itself. Congress must demand answers. @LaboscoSonya @TSA @DHSgov
🚨WILL WE EVER SEE ACCOUNTABILITY?🚨
In Orlando, the Air Marshal National Council asked DHS’s inspector general to investigate whether Special Agent in Charge Alana Bell ignored repeated requests for air marshal support during an operation that located 122 missing and exploited children. The council said staffing logs showed personnel were available.
flvoicenews.com/air-marshal-…
In Houston, Senior Federal Air Marshal Mark Crowder told the Senate that when he raised concerns about his wife being flagged as a domestic terrorist, Special Agent in Charge William Aupperlee told him to stay silent and let the investigation run its course. Crowder testified that his wife was subjected to roughly 13 air marshal surveillance missions.

In Washington, Judicial Watch reported that former Assistant Special Agent in Charge Serge Potapov helped create a congressional VIP escort program that pulled air marshals off high-risk flights.

Congress should ask TSA for the deployment records, who signed off on each decision, and what happened after these concerns were raised. The flying public deserves answers. @LaboscoSonya @BreannaMorello @wmahoney5

Very peculiar, my post I made earlier today disappeared!
I interviewed two retired U.S. Air Marshall’s who told me a stunning story. I’ve heard many stories in my life, these factual incidents will shake your belief system in our government.
This video should be seen by every U.S. citizen!!
Please share!!

There needs to be a mass firing at the Federal Air Marshal Service Hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans to include babies, Veterans, and elderly women were victimized by the Quiet Skies list, which that violated their first amendment rights.
Now, FAMS refuses to help rescue trafficked children?
🇺🇸 The Air Marshal National Council joins the legendary David Paulides @canammissing to discuss Quiet Skies: Watchlisted in America.
Who is watching the watchers? When government surveillance targets innocent Americans, accountability matters. It’s time to expose the truth and defend our constitutional freedoms.
David is the filmmaker behind the Missing 411 series films and books!! A true American legend.
