Hypotheticals (Booth&Alex)

"This means there had to be magnesium on or near the body. An accelerant, if you will." Alex turns and gives Booth a once over. "It is possible that this was an accident. If the victim worked around powdered magnesium, or the ribbon form, particles of it could have gotten onto his clothing. Then all it would need is a little spark."
"If he worked around it wouldn’t he know that?" Booth pointed out. "It’s be a hazard of the job, something he’d know and try to avoid right?"
“Well, yes and no. It is possible he knew the risk, but also possible that he was not aware of the particles that were on him. Like say you’re carving something, and don’t realize you have wood shavings all over you until you stand up and they fall off.”
