8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first part or the second part is configured to provide visual access to the compartment, whereby tampering with the apparatus can be detected upon observation of the at least a portion of the locking mechanism in the compartment.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first part or the second part is configured such that tampering with the apparatus can be detected upon auditory observation of the at least a portion of the locking mechanism in the compartment.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the compartment is hidden from a user's view.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising an unlocking mechanism configured to break the locking mechanism of the clamping box.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a sticker configured to be applied onto a surface of the clamping box when the clamping box is in the closed position, wherein the sticker is configured to tear upon force.

13. A tampering detection system comprising:

an object, wherein the object is one or more ingress/egress line comprising a first end and a second end and the clamping box is configured for enclosing at least a portion of the one or more ingress/egress line; and

a tamper detection apparatus comprising:

a clamping box configured for enclosing at least a portion of an object in a manner that provides detection of tampering, wherein the clamping box comprises a first part and a second part attachable to one another, wherein the clamping box is configured for enclosing at least a portion of one or more ingress/egress line in a manner that provides detection of tampering, wherein the clamping box comprises one or ingress/egress line opening disposed on one or more side surfaces;

a locking mechanism for the clamping box configured to maintain the first part of the clamping box and the second part of the clamping box in a closed position, wherein the apparatus is configured for opening or more removal from the object by breaking the clamping box and/or the locking mechanism;

a compartment in the first part or the second part of the clamping box, wherein the compartment is configured to receive at least a portion of the locking mechanism when the locking mechanism is broken; and

wherein the first part of the clamping box and the second part of the clamping box each comprise a support disposed along a side edge, wherein the supports are configured for use in opening the apparatus; wherein opening or removal of the clamping box is detectable.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the clamping box comprises an opening disposed on a side surface and wherein the clamping box is closed on an opposite side surface.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the clamping box comprises an opening disposed on a side surface and an opening on an opposite side surface, wherein the openings are not coaxial with respect to each other.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism comprises one or more protrusion disposed on the second part configured to engage a hole disposed on the first part.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism comprises one or more protrusion configured to be inserted in one or more hole disposed on the first part and/or one or more hole disposed on the second part.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first part and the second part of the clamping box have a periphery that defines an interior of the first part and the second part and the compartment is outside the periphery.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first part and the second part of the clamping box have a periphery that defines an interior of the first part and the second part and the compartment is inside the periphery.

20. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first part or the second part is configured to provide visual access to the compartment, whereby tampering with the apparatus can be detected upon observation of the at least a portion of the locking mechanism in the compartment.

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first part or the second part is configured such that tampering with the apparatus can be detected upon auditory observation of the at least a portion of the locking mechanism in the compartment.

22. The system of claim 13 , comprising an unlocking mechanism configured to break the locking mechanism of the clamping box.

23. The system of claim 13 , further comprising a sticker configured to be applied onto a surface of the clamping box when the clamping box is in the closed position, wherein the sticker is configured to tear upon force.

24. The system of claim 13 , wherein the compartment is hidden from a user's view.

25. The system of claim 13 , wherein a lumen of the ingress/egress line is configured to be positioned within the clamping box.

26. A method for detecting tampering with an object, the method comprising:

(a) positioning an object, wherein the object is one or more ingress/egress line comprising a first end and a second end and the clamping box is configured for enclosing at least a portion of the one or more ingress/egress line, in a tamper detection apparatus comprising:

a clamping box configured for enclosing at least a portion of an object in a manner that provides detection of tampering, wherein the clamping box comprises a first part and a second part attachable to one another;
