Every time I read that the government says they aren’t doing something, I am instantly convinced that they are. Why else would they bother saying they aren’t doing something? “We’re not sharing names with Amtrak.” Never thought you were. But now I do. The government always tells people exactly what they are doing in the form of overt denials.
