Question Gate-checking luggage

I'll be traveling with a decently large suitcase on UA/LH first. Since I want to minimize the risk of it being damaged/lost, can I be adament about gate-checking the piece? Will the TSA let me through security?

Gate checked luggage is almost always loaded in bulk which increases the likelihood that it could be damaged.
