Abstract: A security seal with a male part having a security wire extending from it, and a female part that receives the male part. The security wire passes through two grooves on the male part and through a central opening between them. With the security wire so placed, the male part is inserted into the female part where two pairs of resilient spurs on the male part engage knobs in the female part preventing the male part from being removed and a protective cover on the male part receives the female part. The security wire preferably has a metal base with a thin metal thread spirally tightly wound around it that is separable from the metal base when the security wire is violently pulled or bent. The seal is preferably made of a transparent material and preferably has a thread connecting the male and female parts so they stay associated.
