I have more than one friend with stuff they
shouldn't have. Stuff they
bought at auction. It is more bureaucratic error. Classified and some even
up to the nuclear level. It slips through all the time.
I bet your friends appreciate you saying this on a public list.
That was by mistake. They can have it all back.
Anytime they decide to. If
they even decide to care. They rush in with FBI agents and take back
moonrocks all the time. Seriously. Every rock from the moon was just
'loaned' to whoever was allowed to hold it.
There is *some* truth to this, although for 45 year old space junk, I
doubt anyone in the government would care.
The government can retroactively change classification and demil codes
on pretty much anything - certainly the crypto collectors have this
issue, and get toys taken away from them. Scrappers also see this more
and more, so now most are documenting their scrapping process by
snapping a bunch of photos of stuff they stripped, if it looks
sensitive. However, I would think the 99plus percent of Apollo junk
would not fit in this category.
It would be interesting to see at what level the AGC was classified.
It might qualify for that 1minus percent.
