I fly and carry with Delta regularly. A couple of times a month. Most of the time the folks that are tasked with doing the zip ties are just as annoyed as I am. The solution is simple. Scissors. You are allowed to carry scissors on your flight. I carry THESE SCISSORS in my carry on. When I get my bag from the dude after zipping it up I pull my scissors out of my carry on and cut them off right in front of them. Usually I hand him/her the trash. I've never had one push back on me. There's nothing they can do. It's your property.
Also, a super important aspect of bondage rope play: SAFETY!
Do not engage in rope play unless you have at least 1 or more pairs of EMT shears (medical trauma scissors) handy. These are cheap. You can order them online on Amazon or generally find them in most pharmacies or local medical supply stores. These kinds of scissors have safety tips and are designed to rapidly cut through clothing and other obstructions (like rope).
Prestige Medical Fluoride Scissor, Black, 7 1/2 Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WJHE7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8yqWzbJZ3D0ZM
Since you mentioned poultry sheers, here's a pro-tip.
I have a set in the kitchen, a set in the car and a set in the toolbox.
These cut through coins like nothing. Chicken doesn't stand a chance.
Somehow the fluoride coating is better than even teflon.
Here's a pair of scissors that will cut a penny (I just tested it with mine) for $9.75 on Amazon. Trauma sheers are damned-near unstoppable.
For travel, I think shears are a superior option since they can go into carry ons without issues. $25 each way on a trip adds up.
I don't know if titanium coating (like on the XS) or Fluoride are better for handling rust.
This is what I use to cut it.
These are all black. I've seen them used a few times and they work fine.
