When it comes to the Statue of Liberty, it seems the public can do whatever like like with her !
As perhaps the most visible symbol of the USA, lady Liberty has suffered numerous indignities upon her person. She was almost blown up after a German attack in 1916, half-buried in radioactive sand in Planet of the Apes in 1968, made to disappear by magician David Copperfield in 1983; brought to life in Ghostbusters II (1989), destroyed in Independence Day (1996); and submerged in snow in The Day After Tomorrow in 2004.
