And the TSA is not supposed to open them. Shit gets stolen like that and the ATF gets really really pissed.

While true, it definitely depends on your particular TSA team. I have flown multiple times with firearms within the US, and normally TSA follows their own rules pretty well. However, I have had TSA DEMAND my key so they could open the case outside of my presence. When I protested and gave them the handout of their own procedures, the guy said “you can give me the key, or you don’t get on your flight.”

They did that to me once, I told the Agent that I was happy to tag along back to the case and open it for them. The Agent took me the back way through the service halls to their area where I opened my case and they did their inspection, then they brought me back to the gate through the service halls.
The agent wasn’t happy about it but I stayed cool with 'em and they made it work.

I offered to do the same and was literally scoffed at, then reprimanded for my audacity. It was a really fucking shitty experience.
