Jack Bowling made mention of the possibility of people bringing in rarities so
they can claim seeing them.

THat's not as farfetched as you may think.

I know several pilots for the WA national guard. A couple of them think it's a
real hoot to do the following..
For several years after Mt. St. Helens blew her top, they'd fly USGS folks up
there to do studies on the dome in the crater. A few of the pilots would take
bags of pea gravel up there and dump them near the dome (without the USGS
knowledge), just to see the geologists reactions at finding pea gravel in the
throat of a volcano.
The pilots are stilll laughing at this.............the
morons.....................
