Soft bags work ok.
I have traveled with soft bags after having issues with the spendy aluminums. The spendy aluminum ones tended to rattle and leak water and dust. Went to Ortlieb soft bags that are totally water and dust proof and added a second bag for tools. Taken a few spills with softbags and just pick up the bike and get going. Security??? No place is totally safe. Keep an eye on things and sleep with the bags. This photo was in Chile. I think they look as nice as twisted aluminums.....
