Border Screenings Proposed For Deadly Painkiller Spreading Death Across US

A bipartisan proposal in the Senate would give border agents the technology to screen for chemicals at U.S. entry points in an effort to target fentanyl shipments.
Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida proposed the INTERDICT Act earlier this year and are renewing their call for support after a report released Tuesday showed fentanyl deaths are rising. Data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reveals 81 percent of opioid-related deaths over the first quarter of 2017 involved fentanyl, a painkiller roughly 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine, reports The Herald News.
Fentanyl was only involved in 19 percent of opioid-related deaths in the state as recently as 2014. Markey says the bill can help stem the massive tide of fentanyl flowing into the U.S. across the southern border, which is blamed as a primary driver of the current epidemic.
