I must've missed your prior posts on this, acropolis. Did you ever post a photo of what it looks like? I just ask because...so you just tape that pack of tape to the outside of the bag, or it goes in with the bandana before you seal it? If it's on the outside of the plastic bag, unless you cover all sides of it, seems like the edges of the tape bundle would catch on things in your pocket, potentially ripping the bag in the process, and also really build up some lint over time. Although, I guess maybe the "catching on things" angle is what you're referring to about helping prevent pick pockets, so in that case, it would be an advantage.
