#1 That thing weighed almost a ton. You'd think someone would have notices something as it went through a checkpoint because a ton is a lot for a minibus.

Maybe the brakes were straining when it stopped. Maybe the suspension was low and the tires looked loaded. Maybe the engine was straining when it pulled away.

They can stiffen up the suspension and put air in the tires, though.

So maybe cars going through checkpoints need to be weighed. Or maybe have the air pressure in their tires checked with a hammer or air pressure gauge.
