Tucked into the article is this hilarious nugget:
> and paying an Amtrak official for travel reservation information. In the latter case, the DEA already had an agreement in place under which Amtrak Police would provide that information for free, but the agency instead spent $850,000 over two decades paying somebody off
I wonder if this was corruption or plain incompetence/miscommunication - seems like if you have lots of "vendors" that you transact with, if you don't use some centralized system of truth, then you're liable to have stuff like this happen occasionally.
