Ultimately, time travel is a really bad idea, considering all that could go wrong if we believe our current theories with time travel. If time travel was ever "invented" by someone outside of the government, it would probably be destroyed if they ever did hear about it. Despite the possible uses a government could have for a time machine, I don't think any administration would be brash enough to try tinkering with time.
However, if a government were to try messing with time, I don't think they'd ever send an actual human through time. It's too risky; the ramifications of sending emotional people with wills and thoughts of their own would be endless. Besides, you can't effectively police time. Once you send someone, they're as good as gone. I guess we'd have to have intelligent androids by then, who would only do what they're told.
Time travel....eh. Although I think in theory that a person can move through different "areas" of time in the universe (meaning, they can go and then return to one, only to find they are a lot older or younger then everyone they once knew), I don't think this will ever happen to any person, nor do I think it has or will ever happen to any "person" in the universe, no matter how intelligent or technologically advanced a race becomes. I buy into relativity to a point, but I don't think going the distance it takes to see a difference in time would ever be possible with the physical means we have in the universe (if we ever even have the means to access anything physical off of earth in the future).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
