Do I seriously need to put always on cameras in my luggage?

    I believe DeviantOllam recommends putting a gun in your bag (from memory a starter gun counts as a gun to TSA but doesn't have the whole licence restrictions of an actual firearm). Because you have a gun you are allowed to lock it with an actual padlock and the TSA can't just go through your stuff. If you put a padlock on otherwise they'll just cut it off and you're back to square one.

    I just use a zip tie. It keeps the bag shut and it's obvious if they open it. Of course they could potentially replace it with an identical zip tie. You can get security seals that are serial numbered if you want to protect against that.

    Good idea. And you could easily add a mark (maybe green permanent marker?) and they're most likely not going to replicate it. Prep a few and carry the zip ties in your personal item or something.

    That said, zip ties seem kind of annoying since you'll need to cut them at the destination, without being able to being a knife with you.

    If your bag has an exposed zipper, then a malicious actor doesn't need to pick your lock, they can just get through the zipper with a pen usually, and they can still zip it up after.

    It's in the video how he closes it again to remove the evidence. https://youtu.be/wpIJVWXsBBI?t=93
