Most people really have no idea how fragile that monument is...any new anchor could cause issues with the rapid freeze and thaw issues that happen. The Black Hills holds the record for the quickest temperature drop and I've experienced this.
They "don't believe the sign will damage" but they didn't know for sure. Not something I'd risk to a symbol of America.
Course I do have to say, why didn't the rangers shoot them? They have guns and ammo...but the sensors on the mountain caught them..it just takes time to get to them.
