re: DaveL,
yeah, viagra isn't percocet. And I do not doubt that some
donut-head is going to spin this as "too much government
interference" and regulation. And, certainly I am not in favor of
people being harassed over small quantities of poorly-documented
non-narcotics. Lord knows we have enough madness with Security
Theater.
That said, if somone is carrying a perscription that doesn't have
their name on it yet claim it is theirs I think it is
prudent to verify that the rest of the label is accurate - that it
really is sildenafil citrate, and not something else packaged as a
small, blue pill. Recall what Bruce Schneier has taught us about
using common sense and a feel for what is "hinky." It's called
"they can't keep their story straight"="what else are they lying
about."
Interesting how we picked up on the "what else are they lying
about" thing pretty quickly.
I don't know the fellow, so I can't summon up genuine sympathy for
him - but I can summon up sympathy for any poor schlub who really
didn't want to be harassed by security, who didn't want the
embarassment of people knowing that he needed the little blue
pills, and who is struggling with drug addiction.
Little blue pills does not = further drug abuse, btw, but it does
fit a pattern of deceptive behavior characteristic of people with
chronic drug problems, which is one of the reasons (ironic, eh?)
that conservative types have little sympathy for addicts.
