U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials report fentanyl smugglers are significantly increasing their use of the U.S. Postal Service and other express consignment carriers to bring the deadly drugs into the United States.

Years ago, the cops could bring drug dogs into the mail rooms and at sorting facilities for FedEx, etc. Cops would go get warrants, open the packages and, in some cases, do a controlled delivery to lock up folks.

Judges stopped that a long time ago.

A good friend was DEA and said that if you went into these sorting and storage rooms, the smell of weed was overwhelming and there was nothing they could do about it.

Unless they had information about a specific package, going to a specific location, they couldn't do anything.

Our country is f**ked and has been for quite some time.

Then again, we have the Cartels taking over towns in rural California and no one seems to care about that either.

If a dog sniffs a little Fentanyl, he will probably die.

Unless you can get Narcan into him, somehow.

Plenty of video of cops going down after being exposed.

And contrary to what some may believe, the effects of NarCan wear off and a person might need to be given more than one dose to stay alive.

It’s almost as if people at the highest level of state and federal levels have been paid off to look the other way.

As long as the Big Guy gets his 10% cut, along with a few others getting theirs, everyone looks the other way. Corruption from the top down....

I have noticed the USPS carrier are wearing plastic gloves and I don’t think it is only because of Covid-19.

The Cartels operate a distribution and delivery network throughout the country rivaling that of Amazon and yet one rarely hears of big shot Cartel members being arrested.

I suspect the elite are pleased to see tens of thousands of American youth dead of overdoses every year.

And to think, the Cartels are just one part of the problem.

The drug companies, pharmacy chains and the pain management clinics are a whole different ballgame.

RE: People dying or dead from fentanyl exposure....

So disgusting the sick and devolved American people allow this.

Still voting for the gangs, illegals and urban thugs to spread drugs far and wide for the Chinese takeover.

Scum.
