My British friends and I were amused to see this sign in the Wendover (Utah) Airfield museum: http://www.brough-superior.com/files/cms/news/bild1_2685.jpg
(The museum is worth a visit if you happen to be in the area)

There was a Gemini capsule at MoTaT in Auckland for many years, maybe that went on tour? It's been given back now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_12#Spacecraft_location/

On a similar tack, there's a lot of hype about "downloading music is illegal", which ends up tarring every provider/downloader with the same brush. What they probably mean is "downloading (our) music (without paying for it) is (a breach of copyright)", but that's not as catchy. I could imagine that the T.S. officer was susceptible to this if-it's-copied-it-must-be-illegal argument, which is probably just how the large software and music companies like it.
