i travel with large, heavy luggage with several outside zippered compartments. i use several baby diaper pins on each outside zipper, hoping that someone that wishes to open my zipped pockets will bypass them because they are a pain to fiddle with. i suppose that if i want to increase security, i could put a piece of masking tape on each one. then i would know if they have been opened. i also use the pins on the main compartment fastener. i don't have to worry about scissors to open ties at my destination.

i pin extra pins inside the compartments so that i will have extras if needed.
