Jim -- You're absolutely right, but were OHS to acquire something as potentially hazardous as the Lost Ark (as portrayed in the Indiana Jones movie and not to be confused with any actual sacred artifact), then I would assume the potential liability represented by such an object might require some kind of exception to the rule. Possibly anyway.
