Or better yet Randy, lets organize a raid on its vaults and hold a press conference on a big stage with a 'sponsored by ATS' banner hanging behind

To get access to the Smithsonian vaults you have to:
* sign up as a volunteer (or give credentials as a reseracher)
* take training on your area
* volunteer on a regular basis for about 6 months.
* ask "may I look at" and tell them what you want to see.
You'll see it.
I am speaking from experience. I work as a volunteer at a large museum. I did get to see the paleo lab at the Smithsonian last week. If I'd
volunteered there or had a degree in paleontology (Masters' or better) I could have gone through channels and gotten back into the collection to look
at bones.
And, for the record, I'm considering doing that next year, to look for something that I want to write a paper about.
