We're trying hard not to convey the vision that computer security is
a binary thing, and I don't remember that we've ever written anywhere
that Tails is "secure". You wrote that we were claiming that Tails is
secure, or similar (I don't have the original email anymore, sorry),
so I'm curious where you found this claim... mainly because I'd like
to correct it. That was all :)

The ISO images are distributed via a pool of mirrors that we don't
manage ourselves. We have no means to assert how much we trust the
people who run these mirrors. So adding TLS would not guarantee much.
Still, we're (slowly) working on adding TLS support for our pool of
mirrors, as a (lightweight and weak) protection against
network attackers.
