If you check firearms they should not open the bag without you present. This is pretty obvious as they don't want firearms making it on the the ramp. Generally what happens is that you go to the check in counter, show you have a firearm and that it meets the transport criteria (unloaded, no ammo, etc) and then you can lock the case with a heavy padlock. They cannot open the case afterwards without you present. If they need to get a hold of you to open the case for them and they are unable to, they will not load your bag. Dunno what these TSA people were doing, but it is consistent with the fact you were flying USAirways. Stick with a real airline next time.
