It's actually fairly simple (afaik). Particles bounce between potentials (inside a "well") and create standing waves. These waves die off exponentially in the potentials themselves, and so if you have a potential that is small (thin) enough, there is a non-negligible probability that the particle will be found outside of the well.
... and don't be overly paranoid:)
This year, I entered the US 4 times, I've been pulled aside 2 times, I never had to show my laptop. My colleagues have similar experiences. I can only speak about traveling between the US and Europe though.

It's obvious that they're talking about the *effective* weight, ie. the total downward force, no need for excessive nitpicking
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
This actually penalizes the guy who downloads a heck of a lot, but he times his downloads so they always run from 11 pm to 5 am.
Then just count every GB transfered between, say, midnight and 7am as 512MB.

Voila, "teleportation".
I suggest you compare Quantum Tunneling with Quantum Teleportation, as they are not the same thing :)
