The United States has had "born secret" laws about nuclear weapons details for decades [1], but it's unclear if they are actually compatible with the Constitution. There was a case in 1979 that could have established whether "born secret" nuclear information is a valid exception to the First Amendment, but the government dropped its case before the courts could rule on it [2]. The "born secret" concept does not apply to biological or chemical weapons. Your nearest research university library probably holds publications about the effects and synthesis of chemical warfare agents, like Some aspects of the chemistry and toxic action of organic compounds containing phosphorus and fluorine by Bernard Charles Saunders: https://catalog.lib.uchicago.edu/vufind/Record/587946 https://catalog.lib.uchicago.edu/vufind/Record/587946 Which is also scanned and available online: https://archive.org/details/B-001-026-884-ALL https://archive.org/details/B-001-026-884-ALL [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_secret https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_secret [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Progressive,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Progressive,_....
