I agree. An analogy would be closing a long-term storage facility because someone stored a bomb-making manual in one of its lockers.
Well, perhaps they would still close it and search for an actual bomb. But would they also close all of the facilities owned by the same storage company? More to the point, I guess, would they suspect that the storage company is an accomplice? Unlikely.
The problem is, hi tech is outside of the daily experience of most of the people, and much less understood by them. So they have to rely on experts and take the most conservative point of view (as potentially the least dangerous one). We have to be patient with them: education takes time.
