There's a difference between checking a production sample - which I assume is how that tech doc is produced - and checking every bike destined to be used in competition, no?
Otherwise I don't see the point in the increased up-front scrutiny.
If the labour can be had free, great, I'd imagine the logistics will still kill you in the wallet.
That said they kinda do something similar at the start of TTs?

At virtually all levels of motorsport, the scrutineers are volunteers. they just follow a rule book written by the FIA (professionals). So for cycling, the UCI would administer the professional scrutineers would conduct the hologations (they already do this http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/Rulesandregulation/16/60/87/ListofApprovedModelsofFramesandForks_English.pdf) at the season beginning while accredited volunteers would check the bikes at races.
