Rep. Nancy Mace Urges More Whistleblowers To Come Forward After Learning She Was Allegedly Targeted By TSA And Charleston Airport

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 11, 2025) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) called on additional whistleblowers to come forward after receiving credible information she was allegedly subjected to inappropriate surveillance and targeting by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Charleston International Airport security personnel (CHS).

According to information provided by current and former airport employees Rep. Mace was allegedly:

• Subjected to mandatory surveillance by airport security personnel every time she was present at CHS
• Targeted by TSA officials who allegedly attempted to or wanted to revoke her TSA status
• Targeted by TSA officials who wanted her blocked from using the Known Crewmember (KCM) checkpoint as is standard operating procedure for all Members of Congress

Separately, current and former airport employees were allegedly punished or retaliated against for speaking out about other alleged security issues, breaches, and abuses.

"This appears to be yet another example of the weaponization of government agencies against a conservative," said Rep. Mace. "If these allegations are true, it represents a disturbing abuse of power and a clear case of political retaliation. No American - let alone a sitting Member of Congress - should be subjected to this kind of targeted harassment simply for doing their job and standing up for their constituents. But this isn’t just about me, I am also deeply concerned about the alleged targeting of airport employees who speak up and are retaliated against."

Rep. Mace is calling on any current or former TSA employees, airport security personnel, airport employees, or other individuals with knowledge of this alleged targeting - or similar incidents - to come forward with information.

Whistleblowers may contact Rep. Mace's office through the following secure channel: mace.house.gov/contact 

"I want to assure any potential whistleblowers that your information will be handled with the utmost confidentiality and seriousness," Rep. Mace continued. "People deserve to know if their government is abusing its authority to target political opponents and private citizens."

Rep. Mace indicated she will refer this matter to all appropriate federal and state oversight committees and inspectors general for investigation. Rep. Mace will also be contacting law enforcement agencies about any potential laws that may have been broken and will pursue this to the fullest extent of the law.
