It makes sense in theory to deter someone planning something sketchy. But if that's the purpose, they should try to make it known to everyone.
Basically, the agents should be telling everyone - "yes, the procedure can change every time", so the potential villain scouting out the procedures would think "oh man, I thought I got it figured out, but what if tomorrow they change the rules?"
If they instead keep insisting "you should know this, it's the same every time", the potential villain is more likely to feel confident in their preparation and go ahead.
The other problem is TSA agents seem to massively overestimate how often people use air travel and how uncommon it is for like 95% if the population.
