Interesting trade off. I can't see many people in practice weighing a device. I could see a casual hacker physically destroying a device putting such an implant in. But not every attacker or victim are in the common category.

Of course, getting there earlier in the supply chain..

Should be par for the course for individuals putting their life savings on such a thing. A kitchen scale gives you .1g accuracy, which should be enough to tell you something is off.

I've heard the same for fake IDs: clubs will weigh them to see if their weight is within range of real IDs.
