The tie wraps are probably less obvious.
I''ve always been tempted to take a small safe to the airport and check it as baggage. It's within my airline's weight limit for bags, but no way TSA has a tool to break it open.

That is easy. If it alarms and we can't open it or the passenger does not return to open it the bag or in your case the safe doesn't not go on the aircraft. It is turned over to the airlines an a report is filed
