The mean free path of a neutrino is about
one light year while traveling through lead.
That is, if you shot a beam of neutrinos into
one end of a brick of lead one light year long,
only half of the neutrinos would get through
and out the other end. You see? They ain't so
tough! But light year thick slabs of lead are
hard to come by...
