Pretty simple, think of it this way,
Imagine space is a forest, and you are a seti signal, You run out into the forest, hoping to run into life, if you find life, will it be chasing you
home?
Maybe we shouldn't go calling out into space, asking for trouble, when we can barely handle the trouble we have here on earth. I am sure if ET didn't
destroy us, they'd wonder why we even concern ourselves with space when our world is barely evolved to trade with one another without issue.
It was never an issue of if or when SETI would find a signal, it was a matter of IF it was a good idea.
