Someone catapulted 110 lbs. of fentanyl over the WALL all the way to Philadelphia

$1.7 million worth of fentanyl seized at Port of Philadelphia


PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Routine examinations at the Port of Philadelphia led to a big fentanyl bust.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 110 pounds of the deadly opioid.

A narcotics detector dog found the drugs in a shipment of iron oxide that arrived from China on June 25.

The seized fentanyl has a street value estimated at $1.7 million.

Officials say they used a handheld elemental isotype analysis tool that can identify over 14,000 chemical substances with the use of a laser or infrared beam to determine the substance was fentanyl.

but even if they did their pea sized brains would still say all the drugs that come into the US are over the US/Mexican border since the fucking moron, Fux Ruse, Rush and Ann tell them so.

I burst out laughing before I even "clicked" on the topic line. GREAT TITLE - sort of like reading "Cliff Notes" and still being able to pass the test!
