Why skeptical? It's easy to find sources of ionising radiation, and it sounds like this capsule was a pretty powerful one for it's size. You can buy a device capable of detecting it for $30 on Amazon - and I'm sure the searchers had far more sophisticated/sensitive equipment at their disposal.
If they really didn't think it was dangerous (or findable) and didn't want bad publicity then they would have just hushed it up in the first place and never gone to the government & press.
