As an operating agency of a Department whose endgame is to convince the American people that restrictions on their freedoms is an acceptable tradeoff in the name of alleged increased security, TSA's main goal in life is to justify their continued existence. They want to convince Congress that they provide an essential service as part of the DHS continuous Global War on Terror that will never end, if DHS can help it.
