The people responsible for targeting individuals using TSA watchlists should be punished and have their authority revoked, including the elimination of secret watchlists.
The Trump administration has faced criticism for utilizing government power to target political opponents, such as former FBI director James Comey, George Soros, and law firms affiliated with the Democratic Party.
