Actually this statute isn't as bad as you think. 18 USC 842 (p):
(p) Distribution of Information Relating to Explosives, Destructive Devices, and Weapons of Mass Destruction.—
 (1) Definitions.— In this subsection—
  (A) the term “destructive device” has the same meaning as in section 921 (a)(4);
  (B) the term “explosive” has the same meaning as in section 844 (j); and
  (C) the term “weapon of mass destruction” has the same meaning as in section 2332a (c)(2).
 (2) Prohibition.— It shall be unlawful for any person—
  (A) to teach or demonstrate the making or use of an explosive, a destructive device, or a weapon of mass destruction, or to distribute by any means information pertaining to, in whole or in part, the manufacture or use of an explosive, destructive device, or weapon of mass destruction, with the intent that the teaching, demonstration, or information be used for, or in furtherance of, an activity that constitutes a Federal crime of violence; or
  (B) to teach or demonstrate to any person the making or use of an explosive, a destructive device, or a weapon of mass destruction, or to distribute to any person, by any means, information pertaining to, in whole or in part, the manufacture or use of an explosive, destructive device, or weapon of mass destruction, knowing that such person intends to use the teaching, demonstration, or information for, or in furtherance of, an activity that constitutes a Federal crime of violence.
This is nothing compared to the gambling information law that the State of Washington passed. It is a class C felony in the State of Washington to transmit or receive gambling information!

Thanks for that info - its good to know that the law requires intent.
