One note on this subject:  we recently had the military (Air Force, in
this case) in to look at a possibly live shell.  Luckily, it was inert
(although some burning around the bottom showed where some really
intelligent person had tried to set it off in the past).  They took it
back with them anyway, saying thatn since soldiers from WWI and WWII (and,
presumably, subsequent wars) had been forbidden to take home "souvenirs,"
it was stolen property and the military was very interested in
recovering such things.

I came into the thread late; apologies if this has already been brought
up.
