Richard Carrigan, Jr., a physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory says SETI scientists "...should think about decontaminating
potential SETI signals." and "...We should exercise caution when
handling SETI downloads..."

Also, Seth Shostak negates the possibility (this is what they were
talking a little bit about in that October Are We Alone? radio show,
which is archived and can be heard at SETI.ORG as an MP3.)
