Security?

My father worked for a munitions factory in south London during the war, he was an "His Majesty's Inspector" and they made gunsights, reconnaissance camera lenses, and bombing predictors (including the famous distance device for the Dam Busters). Their security was, of course, extremely tight, but not, it appears, watertight. Dad and a couple of his mates decided to test the system by smuggling something really heavy out one evening. They tied a length of rope to an anvil and passed it over Dad's shoulder so the anvil was suspended between his knees. He then donned a heavy trench coat and his two mates helped him stagger out through the gates. Security Officer stops them and asks what's wrong with him? they replied that he was feeling unwell, and that they were taking him to the local doctor's surgery. A few yards away from the gates, they stopped again and revealed that they had just smuggled an anvil out through the Security Gate, and what were Management going to do about it?
