No.. it is NOT 100% safe to pick up or possess rocks. In order to pick up
and/or possess a rock you must first make your "Picking Up Rock Declaration"
in writing 10 days before your intention of picking up said rock. If your
rock interest changes, then you are allowed two (2) "Rock Declaration
Amendments" at which time (both times) all of those around you living in
glass houses must be made aware of your now-amended rock intention. If these
conditions are not met, then along comes the Good Fairy and turns you into a
goon.
Stay home. Do not step outdoors. This group is here to EAT.

WOW! Did I rustle some feathers here?
You will all be happy to know that I'm not the jail type so I have returned
the feather to the woods. Not the same woods I took it from as that was too
far to drive, but it has been place amoung some happy trees.
I didn't realize that so many birds' feathers were protected. I wonder if
it's still safe to pick up rocks.
On a serious note: thank you all for letting me know this is an issue as I
would have take this feather home via the airport never knowing that there was
a problem with having a feather in my possession. So, thanks for keeping me
out of jail, a federal conviction off my record, and a loss of money I can
spend buying photos of feathers legally from somewhere else.
PS: I assume I can leagally buy photos of feathers right?

R: About Feathers
The deal with the feathers is: Raptors (Eagles, Hawks, Owls, etc.) and other
migratory birds are protected, and killing one - even turkey-vultures, carries
a hefty $1000 fine. If you possess a feather from one, now matter how that
feather was obtained (Red Tailed-Hawks for example, will pick up dead rats
and snakes off the road, and are frequently hit by cars) the government
assumes you killed the bird for the feathers. Only those Native Americans that
can prove they practice a traditional tribal religion and those people having
the Federal license to handle these birds are exempt (I have a permission
under this law to handle raptors when I am volunteering at the World Bird
Sanctuary. This license does not transfer when I'm working at the Zoo)
So, unless you are positive the feather is from a turkey, the safe bet is
to leave the feather where you found it.
