Unpopular opinion: I saw a guy at the airport in Charlotte zip-tie his luggage zippers together and it's actually genius.
It cost him maybe 10 cents and stopped the main zipper from opening even a little bit during handling, plus it's a clear sign if someone messed with your bag, so has anyone else tried a simple trick like this for travel?

TSA actually cuts those off for inspections all the time. I flew out of Denver last year and they left a note inside saying they had to snip my lock. A zip tie would just get cut the same way and then you're left with no seal at all for the rest of your trip. Kinda defeats the purpose if they don't replace it.

Isn't this just security theater at its worst?

My buddy did that once and TSA cut it, just like @the_morgan said. He had to use a shoelace to tie his bag shut for the flight home.
