  71.      & The iodine sold in drug stores is usually not the pure crystaline form
  72. that is desired for producing ammonium triiodide crystals. To obtain the pure
  73. form, it must usually be acquired by a doctor's prescription, but this can be
  74. expensive.  Once again, theft is the means that terrorists result to.
