It wouldn't look good for them to lose a gun by theft from an airliner they are charged to protect especially after taking custody of the bag.

Exactly. TSA is not even held accountable for massively failing to detect smuggled weapons in carry-ons when tested by inspectors. As for theft itself, the TSA pretty much absolves themselves of any responsibility. If they happen to trip over an employee in the act, they might fire him, but that's about it.
