EURECA!
The terrestial magnetic field is certainly not uniform inside buildings
with iron pipes, beams and instrument supporting racks. And a current
loop falling through a non-uniform field will experience a net force
(in addition to a torque). Thus Gary's "current loop" model can be
used to explain the weight reduction, at least qualitatively.
