> what's the thing about zip ties?
I think that's in reference to participants in the capitol attack that were photographed carrying zip-tie cuffs (examples: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/zip-cuffs-capitol-riots/ and https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2021/01/11/retired-air-force...). Basically, its proof they were prepared to take prisoners/hostages.
