Is a luggage scale patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a luggage scale have been patented many times, but "a luggage scale" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a luggage scale been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Luggage scales are a mature category; compare the weighing sensor, how it attaches, and any folding or integrated design.
