The DEA may not have 50k handcuffs, but they do have some. They can go through the data and formulate a cut point of people they are going to go after. For example, they may target people who have gotten 3 or more scripts from a doctor at one point in time. They will do this with the rational that these people probably are not using the narcotics for personal use, rather selling them on the street.

I think if you just have double dipped one or two times, with no more than two doctors you will be ok. I think the people that should be worried are the ones that are signing up with all the ops and getting massive amounts of pills sent to them.. more than any one person can use (i.e. you can only take so many schedule III narcotics per month because of apap limits.)
