My weights were pulled off my tires more than 50 times, when I was taking flight training and FAA safety courses.
If I drove 2 -1/2 hours to an airfield safety event, with bad tire wobble and did not cancel the trip, I would have been considered un-safe to fly. The GooberMint dudes stalking me did not want me to pass my safety test. "They" hacked my iPhone more than 100 times just before leaving for light training, to prove it was never safe to use during flight, by ruining the GPS driving services in the Tom Tom Apple iPhone app.
You learn to recognize the wiggle in your seat and after a while you can feel which tire weights have been messed with. It's good training and aggravating at the same time.
The instructor's call it "Hurry Up and Get There Syndrome".
When you refuse to stop the trip, even though you know you should.
If your pre-flight does not include verifying tire weights and pressures, EVERY trip, zero exceptions; you FAIL.
It's only paranoid if somebody is NOT out to get you.
