I would think the smartest thing they could do would be to say "finders keepers" with the proviso that you first turn your shuttle bit over to the investigation. You get a receipt and get it back when the investigation is done. When you get your bit back, it is authenticated and ready to sell. That's more in line with the general wreckage salvage laws, and I'll bet it would get every grain of the shuttle found. But NASA isn't in the business of generating value, they're in the business of making sure that nobody makes a profit.
