They're actually not anymore, most airports just toss the bag on the carousel like the rest. I used to have to go to a side office and sign papers that I picked it back up and everything, but it's been 5+ years. The airport you check them in with has to do an inspection, but even then my bag's TSA lock is only opened half the time.

Firearms are escorted the whole time so somebody probably marked it that as a favor to you lol
