All this "if you find a piece of the debris don't touch it because it may be toxic" stuff is ridiculous.

You've obviously never worked with hypergolic fuel or a variety of other materials.

I stand corrected.
At the time, I figured it was a ruse to dissuade people from grabbing "souvenirs", and I thought it was an inappropriate thing to be concerned about given the scope of the tragedy.
Turned out it was no ruse - - some of the debris could indeed have toxic residue.
