TSA agents themselves disclosed watchlist status to Muslim passengers

Evidence

I have no way of substantiating if the individuals I interviewed were or were not on the list. Some told me they were told by TSA agents they were on a list and others said they were told their name was like someone else’s on the list. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 536

Categorization

• XREF: Feeds the reader’s interior-experience question: passengers learn their suspect status through TSA agents’ own words during screening, making the labeling visible.
• QUESTION: The opacity of the list plus agents’ verbal disclosures suggests that even the TSA has no clear control over watchlist information — worth investigating how list status leaks into screening interactions.
