Mr. Elliott
Federal regulations require that within the USA, no tags or stickers regarding firearms can be affixed to your luggage. The luggage scanners will show the firearm in the luggage.
What keeps them out of your luggage is strong hinges and strong locks. I use Abloy brand locks. ($30-300 depending on model) The TSA "approved" locks can often be broken with no tools at all.
