This has actually resulted in airline accidents. There is a famous one where it was a civilian aircraft transporting troops, and the weight calculations were way off since the average soldier is 200 lbs and there were no women/children to account for a lower average.
To be fair they were on camera. A lot of people would refuse to kick up a fuss in that situation. The real test of compliance happens when they are at home alone and the have to decide whether or not they can be bothered to walk their recycling down to the building's bins or if they just shove it down the trash chute with everything else.
Not that I'd know from experience or anything.
