I hear ya, I'm not upset about taking an extra 40 pounds. Just want to make sure it is documented so no one gets in trouble. I was talking about magically appearing half weights etc. to make the numbers work. That is the connotation of "doctoring". Stuff you could get your butt in a sling for with the feds. As for the nature of the actual weight vs. paperwork, I agree. I don't think that 40 pounds extra is dagerous by any means, but there are ways to get it on board without getting yourself in trouble. That was my only point.
