I will hang onto this and use it as an example of why it "government managed backdoor key escrow" for encryption algorithms is such a bad idea.
This is why I use a zip-tie. All the "security" of a TSA lock, but also some limited proof that your bag was tampered with (in particular if you use an uncommon color/shade). PS - Although both are largely security theater, as you can just shove a pen into the zipper.
