Death-Breathing Dragon

I recently learned about a chemical known as chlorine trifluoride. This utter abomination of chemistry reacts to almost everything, setting glass, sand, asbestos, and rust on fire (to name only a few), and can only be loosely contained in a fluorine-treated metal container (the fluorine layer must not be damaged, at risk of explosion). This chemical is deadly beyond reason...

...and, as is typical with me, I started trying to combine it with other things. My question is this: Can a dragon-like creature be biologically designed to create and excrete this substance as a breath weapon? How many biological processes would have to be redesigned or completely handwaved to allow this? Can such a creature even exist in our atmosphere?
