Ivan, for an alternate opinion, many here believe that the wire is/was put on with a slack loop to indicate that the spinner has backed off, not to prevent the spinner from moving.

I don't think safety wire on aviation applications is comparable to its use on knock-off spinners...significantly different forces involved. IMHO, there's no way the safety wire could prevent the spinner from moving; it has no significant strength, and should not be relied on.
