Former U.S. Senate nominee Lauren Witzke had a FOIA request on the disturbing SSSS watchlist because she had undergone these security checks a year after she ran for the 2020 elections. She would have to be three hours early for her flight and would always be told that this was just a "random selection." But over time, she felt humiliated and suspected something was not right, thus the FOIA request. Her request was refused and she was taken off the watch list one day later.Trying to understand the “SSSS” designations on my domestic boarding passes.

(Related: TSA is allegedly harassing the friends and family of J6ers with invasive enhanced searches and pat-downs.)I was on the Quad S list for over a year after running for US Senate in 2020.
Every time I traveled, I had to make sure I arrived at the airport 3 hours early in order to be properly searched, swabbed for explosives, and escorted by Homeland Security to my gate- only to be… https://t.co/bBhCvKWJ5B — Lauren Witzke (@LaurenWitzkeDE) November 26, 2023
