What a wonderfully sensational headline. I was expecting to read an article about opiates being further regulated or something similar.

A better headline would have been "FDA panel to vote on cold reliever restrictions."
Or, to be relevant yet still sensenational, "FDA panel to vote on taking away kids ability to robo-trip...even though it would never actually work...just like putting some things behind the pharmacy counter didn't even dent meth labs"
