I always travel with the haul bag that I made in 1982 for a run up Half Dome. It's the red one in this pic.
I pull the drawstring at the top and back it up with a slip knot. The haul loops are long enough to pull over the enclosure and then tie in a follow through overhand knot. Not too complicated for the authoritah to figure out and re-do after inspection. If the haul loops are not long enough, I would just tie them together with a piece of webbing and a fastex buckle over the top. Either way, it is nice and smooth with no exterior loose ends.
In all of my years of travel, it has only been searched once, while returning from an Alaskan trip. They removed some safety matches I had in a first aid kit.
It was almost searched in Toronto while coming back from Les Alps, but after looking the exterior of the bag over they just asked me what was in it and decided against it. I guess they figured that terrorists would be better funded...
As mentioned above, I just roll my clothes to store inside it. Then again, I never travel with a suit or anything that requires lack of a few wrinkles.
