Comment Treat it like any object that fall from the sky. (Score 1) 375
Lets say... If there's a meteorite fall to a place near you.
Do you immediately come near it, touch it, and grab it?
No. You examine first, determine if it's safe to come near it, touch it, and grab it.
Not all people will use cautionary measure though, many will act like a kid who just found something interesting.
But overall, I think that common sense is needed. Other than that, it's relatively quite safe.
I think that the whole health hazard of nearing and touching those parts have been overblown.
Yes. There might some hazard from toxic materials. But... Most of them probably already being dispersed into the atmosphere. And to those that managed to fall. Well... You will know soon enough on whether or not it's toxic.
Anyway. The Space Shuttle is the property of the goverment of the United States of America. I think that it's quite reasoneable if they didn't want someone to move and touch parts of it, less alone take (a.k.a. steal) it. How do you feel if your property has been move, touch, and steal from you without your consent?
Of course, that's is if... what broke up above Texas is indeed the Space Shuttle Columbia, if it isn't. Well... Then you got your explanation there on why they didn't want anyone to inspect those parts.
