Agencies would be able to share critical information.
A
Agencies would conduct more searches and seizures.

Explanation

The 9/11 Commission identified poor communication and information sharing among government agencies as a major problem before the attacks. Creating the Department of Homeland Security brought several agencies together under one department, helping them coordinate and share critical information. Better screening and no-fly lists were other security measures, but they do not describe this main purpose of the department.
