I'm not saying I think it's a good idea for Boy Scouts (or anyone else) to be playing with radioactive materials in their sheds. I'm just saying that attempting to suppress the information will fail. Security cannot depend on indefinite suppression of information. We'd be much safer looking for alternatives. (I favor an emphasis on social justice as a good start, but there are plenty of other approaches worth considering, I'm sure.)
