WeightHeight

Height and weight indicators in the booth.

Access permit

Access permit required from workers, immigrants, tourists, and transients since day 27.

An entrants' physical characteristics, including height, weight, and a description of physical appearance are listed on several documents, such as ID supplement, and may be compared with the entrant to ensure their identity.

The booth's weight display and the lines behind the entrant are used to verify entrant's weight and height. The player cannot select the height lines in the inspection mode directly and must select the entrant's head and the document that has the apparently different height to verify a height discrepancy.

A discrepancy in all of these fields except weight or sex leads to fingerprint testing. A weight discrepancy or an apparent sex discrepancy leads to a search.
