This is low level stuff. Even if you put it in a bomb there is little damage to look forward to. Hardly WMD material.
Not to hijack the thread but the funny part is that while WMD was only one of fourteen reasons Bush stated for going to Iraq, it seems the WMD one is the only one the Dems remember.
