Federal air marshals have secretly monitored a small number of U.S. passengers who raised red flags under a program called “Quiet Skies,” according to a recent report. When a person is placed on the list, a team of air marshals is placed on the person’s next flight, according to the Globe, and the team receives a list of personal information about the target. In a statement to Fox News on Monday, the TSA said passengers were not singled out by race or religion. The agency did not go into specific details about the program, but said it did not follow flagged passengers around airports. At least one air marshal reportedly filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General’s Office about the program.
