I find it amusing how it takes something like this before science reaches the mainstream media. It's not so much the groundbreaking science of the LHC, but rather the prospect of a WMD type fate (which is ridiculous) that the media is interested in.

I thought another good example of this was when the first story about the ISS to appear in mainstream media for a long time was about the toilet breaking down...I think space science is still a novelty to most people.
