Well, for one thing, everyone working on the project was kept in the same big research compound in Los Alamos. No one in, no one out. It had the dual purpose of efficiency (all the researchers in one place) and secrecy (none of said researchers were allowed to leave).

I don't believe that's true. Most researchers were civilians and were free to move as they pleased.
