I have noted that you have suggested this several times before. While not discounting it, I can see a couple of possible flaws.
1. Scale Accuracy - you would be comparing results on a scale in (say) Melbourne to one in Denpasar. I'm not sure of the accuracy of these but a half kilogram discrepancy wouldn't surprise me.
2. Desperate People - if we are to believe there are insiders who are using us as unsuspecting mules, it may be possible for them to discard a few items from your luggage to maintain the recorded weight.
