Just for clarification:

--From a practical standpoint, DOT only regulates transportation 
related to interstate commerce (I'm sure someone can dig out the 
proper phrasing).  So if you're taking your fiestaware down the 
street, DOT has no jurisdiction and won't worry about it.

However! most states have incorporated DOT regulations verbatim or by 
reference (this all happened several years ago when the CDL 
[Commercial Driver's License] mandate came down).  For example: The 
Texas Department of Public Safety (state police) have adopted 49CFR.  
What they choose to inspect/enforce is up to them.
