"And, being a gas, it dissapates fairly rapidly. That said, in an enclosed space, it's bad stuff."

I recall all sorts of precautions in my chem labs decades ago. How hard would it be to fill a milk jug with it and would the plastic cap need more than tape to seal it?

My guess is it would eat through the modern plastic jugs rather fast, but glass will hold it. The members of the halide group ( chlorine, flourine, bromine ) are very active chemically and combine with or attack a lot of other chemicals and materials-- somewhat the way oxygen is, although the opposite of life-sustaining.

It can certainly be done with the right materials, and would make a nasty grenade to lob into a closed space, like a room or a subway car.
