Because everyone travels across international borders on a weekly basis with a briefcase full of silver. Nothing suspicious about that.

Now that would be really stupid. Silver is only 15-20 an ounce (spot v premium + spot). Better off to have a platinum briefcase with papers inside. Palladium would also work. They look like steel or Aluminum.
There’s probably someone out there making ordinary items out of PMs for concealment. As long as you can check the metal’s conductivity (so it’s not tungsten which has a similar atomic weight to Au) you can prove what it is. Each alloy has a specific conductivity.
