The card goes inside the case. It seems to be easier as we move from post 911 times. Some times all is needed is the card and the case is opened by you in front of the ticket agent, always ask before unlocking. Other times you open the case in front of the agent, then take the re-locked case to TSA screening, open it have the case rummaged through, re-locked and move on. I always stay with the case when unlocked while being inspected even though TSA says I can leave while they inspect then watch them re-lock the case. I also unlock the case after asking permission of the gate agent and/or TSA and never give your combination out. Do not use TSA approved locks as even TSA frowns on this. I give myself an extra 45 minutes and be sure you do not carry any firearms parts through screening at all, not even choke tubes. As any parts need to be in check bags, period. Ammo needs to be in plastic cases or preferably factory boxes, not with the weapon but in your other checked bags. I am by no means an authority but do this several times a year with no issues.
