I mean wire ties. I usually leave just enough slack in the loop so that I can fit a key into it and twist it until it breaks.
I've never had an issue with baggage inspection using them. The one time I've had a bag inspected, the zip tie was replaced with a supposedly uniquely-numbered breakaway plastic lock from the TSA.
