Like I said in my previous post, Boric Acid is used primarily to create other boron compounds. If I were doing mischief I wouldn't bother with it. But your assertion that it has no practical uses is bald on the surface. These idiots can't figure out that they shouldn't pump unleaded into a diesel engine. However, it is possible that they are just drivers and wouldn't know squat about boric acid anyway. There is also no evidence that boric acid is the payload in the trailer. I was merely pointing out that there are boron compounds that can be easily produced that are dangerous at some level. Don't be offended. These nincompoops are likely to be intercepted no matter what they have in the trailer.
G'night. I'm signing off.

" But your assertion that it has no practical uses is bald on the surface." Again, I didn't say it had no practical uses, I said there was no "practical use for it by terrorists" And you've failed to offer even a single practical use for it by terrorists.

Maybe they saw the word "acid" and thought it would be of terrorist value...
