That apparently is what many Harley owners thought, too, right before their bags disappeared and showed up on eBay. Apparently the hard bag factory mounting pins are easily removed with a screw driver from behind. Hence the comments above about people using bolts. Harley now also markets a "bolt" system for the hard bags to replace the pins.

For what kind of bags? Leather? Harley sells a nice set for 65.00 already, the hard bags dont need them if you kep them locked.

He might be working on the patent!
Even if you had bolts and nuts to replace the quick twist pins you could still unscrew the bracket bolts ,at least on my bike.
Need some kind of covers to prevent access.

RE: Bag locks
I went to homedepot with the pin and matched a stainless button head bolts, wing nuts, and washers and changed out all 4 for about 10 bucks. Add a little more fun by filling button head with epoxy. Not theft proof but harder.
