I'm curious about this. What exactly are they swabbing for that they would need to open the case? I mean, we know there's a gun in there and there could be ammunition, right? And the counter person already saw the contents, no?
The swab is for explosives, which smells different to the machine than gunpowder. The counter person saw the firearm(s) but didn't actually search the case.
