I assume that this policy that you can't even pick up a shell or feather is 
intended to simplify prosecution of those who kill animals for their feathers, 
skins, teeth, etc. Can anyone please verify that?

I've often heard stories (mainly here) of people being threatened like this, 
but are the threats ever carried out when it's obvious there's not really 
anything untoward going on?
