Advice please.....

my past trip, half of my luggage was stolen. 
I use Rubbermaid bins with 6 ziplocks on each one. They were cut open on each container......
Soooooo, I'm putting this out there to get suggestions. What do you advise? Anyone have ideas? 
I was thinking to add duct tape to the seal??
I love the protection the bins offer, now I need to consider the security issue.
I am told that if there is anything illegal in your luggage, you are responsible, regardless of how it got there.......
can you say 'YIKES' ?!!
I would appreciate your input, can you help me?

break time in one of my classes this year........

 'Where's Waldo?' 

I think that was tea growing in the background. There are many large fields of tea. However, farm crops remain a problem. When the crops are almost ready, they are stolen. As a result, many farmers have decided not to plant crops......"then they will starve along with us"
