The Trump administration is preparing to end a federal domestic surveillance program for travelers that's meant to ferret out terrorist threats but has sometimes ended up saddling Americans with inconvenient or invasive searches at U.S. airports.
President Trump plans to discontinue the Transportation Security Administration's "Quiet Skies" program, multiple sources told CBS News.
An announcement could come as soon as Thursday, one U.S. official said.
Aides have debated how to shut down Quiet Skies without any lapses in security, another U.S. official said.
