Sir, reference the supposed law that makes contact with ETs illegal. . .this is an urban legand (http://www.snopes.com/legal/et.htm).

As snoopes points out, "'Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law.' The purpose of Title 14, Section 1211 of the CFR was not to 'make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles'; the law allowed the government to prevent the possibility of biological contamination from pathogens carried to Earth by men and objects returning from space by enforcing a quarantine on any people, plant or animal life, or other material that had "touched directly or come within the atmospheric envelope of any other celestial body."

Snopes continues:

"In other words, if you were an astronaut returning from a mission to the surface of the moon (or any other celestial body), the government could require you to undergo a quarantine; if you did not travel into space yourself but had indirect 'extraterrestial exposure' through contact with returning astronauts, their space capsules, or any samples or other material brought back from the surface (or atmosphere) of another celestial body, the government could require you to undergo a quarantine."

Wouldn't want a Andromada Strain wandering about, now would we.

Fine.

Great logic--especially with this particular source.

It's not the most convincing source on the topic I've seen.

Will see if I ever stumble across the better stuff again. It's not a raging priority.

I still happen to think that on the subject of there being such a law--that you are still not in touch with all the
facts.

Blessings,
