I agree, and I actually see that as a reason FOR making the info easily accessable(I know you aren't arguing against that)
Making a pipe bomb, I think you can agree, is significantly easier, cheaper, and more accessable than making something with a safety mechanism, a much smaller secondary charge in case the first fails and you don't want get near a bomb, and having the force go exactly where you want it to. It's so much easier to use these skills for destruction, but it's not hard to figure that information out on your own without the internet. Therefore, by keeping "dangerous" information restricted or censored, you are ONLY raising the bar for entry into the legitimate uses for those technologies.
