This reminds me of a story about, IIRC, Soviet intelligence personnel determining that a photocopy machine at their consulate in the USA was bugged by the CIA by measuring it's weight and comparing that value to the standard value published by Xerox.

Modern times, but same old methods of "debugging"

The angular momentum stuff is innovative though.

Now I’m picturing a 300lbs photocopier being spun on three axes. How much tape would it take to keep doors and parts from flying off?

is measuring the moment of inertia not standard? I think any mechanical engineer would suggest it for that kind of problem (disclaimer; I've suggested it before for the same problem)
