In the latest controversy
to rock the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS), an agency veteran who
created a wasteful VIP Congressional Concierge and oversaw a surveillance
program that put Americans—including Director of National Intelligence
Tulsi Gabbard—with opposing political views on a terror watchlist has
been promoted to assistant director. His name is Serge V. Potapov, and he
has risen through the ranks at FAMS despite playing a key role in highly
questionable programs and a documented history of misconduct that put him
at the center of various investigations over the years, according to agency
documents reviewed by Judicial Watch.
