Damn....I'm getting old or something. I saw those tags everyday for umpteen years and now can't remember what they say on them. If the process was done correctly, the OP was given a portion of the tag for claim purposes at the gate on arrival and the other portion was put on her carryon. I can't remember for sure but I thought on her portion of the tag it said something about not being liable. I could be wrong but I thought that it what it said.
I went to US Air's website and it only talked about being liable for checked luggage and didn't even mention carryons and liablity so it may be an uphill battle.
