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.
You can undo and reuse a zip tie by just lifting up the flap with a small object.
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.
I put a cheap pair of wire cutters in the front pocket of the suitcase to cut the zip tie off with.
