No. I can say that they could do almost everything. But is the meaning of the word 'almost' here?

I should imagine here different scenarios and think abot thir safety:

1. They are already here. In this case SETI is safe because no radiowaves.
2. They have created all the world. Here SETI is not so safe because all the world could include many simulated civilizations. And maybe we live in the simulation which goal is to test radiowave agression scenarios.
3. They could send radiowave for million od light yesr, but can't (or don't! want!) send ships on that distance. This situation is most dangerous.

Using bayesian logic we should think that these variants have equal probabilities. (33 per sent)

Any way this means that radio SETI is or dagerous or useless.
