This is why I always use Tamperlock luggage security, They’re great and give me a real level of comfort.
Thought. What about a little device that logs the times of opening the luggage (and possibly the times of big jolts)? Possibly operated via low-power Bluetooth, so the luggage tamper state can be queried from some distance. Would not tell you only if it was opened, but also when, and from that it can be inferred where.

Has to be small, concealed in the luggage structure (or, if standalone, look like an ordinary piece of electronics - luggage opening can be detected by a light sensor), and have ordinary looking xray signature. Not that difficult set of requirements.
