Dan has correctly stated the concept of attractive nuisance. The problem
is that the Federal Tort Claims Act does not waive the sovereign
immunity of the United States on a stricy liability theory. In other
words, you have to prove negligence, among other things. Because the
United States is not going to liable in tort for an ultrahazardous
activity, it may actually be cheaper to do nothing, whereas the private
sector would not take such a risk because of the financial exposure.
