Nonsense. There is no reason whatsoever to spread this level of paranoia
and it is fairly irresponsible to do so. I suspect far more ships have been
sunk by paranoia and panic than loose lips. Regardless, those with knowledge
of sensitive or classified information already know about security issues.
What someone else might say on the radio would likely be available from
public sources, or is pure speculation, and would therefore not even be
considered important from a national security perspective.
