Would it solve the arbitrary ban on all Texas gear if I decided to cave nekkid at convention?
In all seriousness, decon protocols and a reasonable ban on contaminated gear makes sense. A blanket ban on all Texas gear doesn't, folks seem to forget that state boundaries are political and have little practical relevance to the spread of something found in a remote and rarely caved in portion of the state. It's like saying no US gear is welcome in Mexico (hyperbole, I know). Before I'm jumped, I appreciate all that everyone is doing to host convention, protect our bat friends and manage government agencies that would just as easily close caves as deal with these issues. I'm just asking for some common sense consideration or more elaboration on the reasoning.
