Does that mean that I can't yell "fire" if I smell smoke and see flames?

The "fire in a crowded theater" issue completely sidesteps one point: nobody has yet alleged that the newspaper has printed anything false.

Anybody who sits through a few semesters of college chemistry can make explosives. Does your right to privacy and safety mean that I can't publish my class notes on teh interwebz where bad people might see it?

And do you really want to start telling people that they can't publish uncomfortable-but-truthful-and-already-open-to-the-public information in the name of "safety?"

Really? You want to open that door?

your right to information is trumped by others right to privacy and safety.
I think they should be help criminally liable as an accessory to any crime committed due to the release of that information.
