No way to stop leak of virus info

 So apparently the chairman of the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity says that there is no way to stop the leak of how H5N1 could be mutated to be human transmissible. Now the H5N1 is the birdflu virus, which is what the Spanish Flu was(not that exact strain mind you). This is truly terrifying if you think about it, if terrorists or rogue scientist were to get there hands on this info then they could unless a pandemic upon the world. Chilling stuff if you ask me.
