I think Wiggy means 1 ton of overhead per 5 tons of Smuggler compartment. You could store regular legal goods in it if you wanted too, so it would just be your total cargo capacity reduced by 1 ton to gain 4 ton hidden. You would need a warning if you only have 4 tons smuggler special, but you pick ...

Hmm - any cool effect ideas for having the scanner in 3D? Could rotate the scanner around? (like a water-filled compass... although that would probably be more disorientating).
