What a beautiful qualification. Put one person on Quiet Skies, for any reason, legit or not. Now every known contact or associate of that one person becomes of interest to the Quiet Skies program. Every neighbor, even if they don't know the neighbor. Every work colleague, even if the colleague doesn't know that they work with the person. Every vendor. Every vendee. The air marshal assigned to watch them.
TSA seems to have taken a page from NSA. They aren't even "hop-limited;" they can continually go as far out on a person's network as they want, merely by including a hop in Quiet Skies. https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/28/nsa-files-decoded-hops https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/28/ns...
