Sorry - I didn't mean to divert the direction away from weights and 
measures, but it is still valid to recognise that TSOs don't just go around 
looking at weighing machines.  They have a whole spectrum of jobs.

Some areas are more keen on shutting down filthy kebab shops and shops 
that sell dangerous toys or pornograph to kids than go around confiscating 
weighing machines.

Sometimes its as simple as that

We are talking about weights and measures here. There are regulations 
governing its use in trade. The need for it may not be as dramtically 
obvious as the examples you quote but that doesn't mean it should be 
ignored or abandoned.
