Same what I do, especially because opening luggage in absence of the
owner is rather unusual outside the USA. Sometimes I also "seal" the 
case with any unusual sticker I got somewhere for free or a paper
sticker.

The method with the cable binder became difficult since it is
forbidden to have a nail scissors in the bord luggage. Sometimes not
that easy to open it without damaging luggage without a tool.
