Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb says at a press conference with members of the bipartisan Opioid Task Force that as a prosecutor, he and FBI investigators constantly ran into a box where they could not sense from sight or smell or other form of detection the difference between fentanyl and heroin, which was extremely dangerous to them, when he was a US attorney there was a group of over a dozen police officers who broke down the door and were immediately exposed to huge cloud of fentanyl that sent them all to the emergency room, fentanyl so much more powerful than heroin in the problem for prosecutors was that one could put forward stronger charges with stronger penalties for a small quantity of fentanyl dam for heroin but that needed to be known right away at the time of a drug bust so one bill included in the task force legislative agenda was called the POWER Act which would get detection equipment in the hands of law enforcement to tell the difference between fentanyl and other opioids.
