3) Does anyone know if the scales at the airport used at the gate are subject to state or federal regulation for their accuracy?</font>
I think it may depend on the state. There are states that require all scales used for commercial purposes to be checked and have a sticker on them. I checked for Texas, and there is such a requirement, but I have never seen it enforced at the airports. I guess it is just waiting for someone to take the first step and report an airline.
