It was more of a short generalization when he told me after I asked him why NOS were better. I would assume that way back then, simply banning certain metals was the way to go. There were no announcements, just the restrictions that went over the public's head, unless you were in the business of using said metals. Brent, being in the business, most likely came across the info like anyone else with the resources and desire to know since it affected him.
As for the public sources, there was the occasional book in the library that had that info on making your own bomb but it was nothing like today, with the internet. You had to seriously source the material.
All the best,
