"Whistleblowers Expose CBP Doctor's Attempt to Order Fentanyl Lollipops for Helicopter Mission"

TL;DR Summary
The chief medical officer for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency allegedly repeatedly asked staff members to order fentanyl lollipops for him to take on a helicopter mission to the United Nations in New York City, according to a whistleblower report. Dr. Alexander Eastman's attempts to order the lollipops were unsuccessful due to lack of funding, and he allegedly proceeded to write his own policy for the procurement, storage, and disposal of Schedule II narcotics. The report recommends a thorough investigation of Eastman and halting any controlled substance purchase approvals made by him.
