KCM reduces screener manpower requirements at airports with numerous crew coming and going.
Initially TSA was opposed because they wanted to build their empire. Any civil service manager knows the fastest way to advancement is government growth.
TSA leadership got onboard once they realized congress was going to cap their funding, but they would still be held politically accountable for long TSA lines and pizzed off voters.
No local TSA outfit could justify not having TSA if their lines were backed up with crew waiting to be screened.
