What does not having special security features have to do with proprietary firmware blobs? You can even ask the Tails developers if you don't believe me; they're quite up-front about this. Tails adds back in firmware blobs for wireless cards so that it can work with the Internet on as many computers as possible. They consider this to be more important than making Tails entirely libre, and I don't really blame them, to be honest.

So to make a completely libre version of Tails, all that's needed is to remove the blobs again. Or better yet, just copy their build process and modify it to not add the firmware blobs back in.
