As an example , I was talking recently with a friend who works for the state government and he mentioned that Idaho as a state is officially dropping all use of SI for all state funded projects and switching back to US Customary. The main reason he gave was that even federal government agencies were still handing out drawings in USC and providing bids in USC, as well as an extreme level of distaste among the higher ups in the various state agencies towards the use of SI. He personally is a little annoyed that he has to relearn all his measurements but not enough to do anything about it or as he put it "rock the boat" :).
Hopefully we'll see a strong effort on the part of the government as it listens to those of us who are for conversion and we don't have to drag it out, but getting Americans to do anything has always proved problematic :).

Looks like Korea has finally had enough of non-SI units:
