In really secure areas, you are weighed
this is an oft quoted claim - but can anyone cite a security procedure that actually weighs people ?
because the natural weight of a person varies during the day anyway intake [ food water ] vs excreation [ sweat , defecation , urination ]
this process can be `massaged ` to provide IMHO upt a 3 kg variable - using excessive intake and if nesseceray drugs [ diuretics / anti diruetics for water "management " ]
also given the low mass of paper documents , computer flash memory , cps , dvds etc
IMHO weight check would only detect a person attempting to smuggle a 10 kg gold bullion bar or similar
activity that any reasonable security protocol would detect without weighing

I would think that at the point it gets to Groom Lake...it is ready to fly. Wright Patterson would be the place where the small pieces would be.
Either way...NO ONE gets in or out of these places without extreme precausions and scans of every possible nature. Split Infinity
