Decided today to test this law. I had to obtain a new airport ID badge, the form I filled in listed Height ..... ins Weight ...., I crossed out the inches, put in 173 and put 63 under weight. When they put the stuff into the computer the operator came to the height and wanted to know what it was in inches. I showed her the copy of the law (Below) which I have in my briefcase. I told her that it seemed she was objecting to my use of the metric system contrary to Federal Law! Not wanting to stir things up unduly, but believing I have a right under law to use centimeters, they wanted a copy of the law so they could look into the issue. I'll let you know what happens Monday.
Regards Mike Payne United States Code Title 15 Chapter 6. Sec. 204. Metric system authorized. It shall be lawful throughout the United States of America to employ the weights and measures of the metric system; and no contract or dealing, or pleading in any court, shall be deemed invalid or liable to objection because the weights or measures expressed or referred to therein are weights or measures of the metric system --- Michael Payne --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.
