    We told them there was an increased risk. They don’t need to know how we know or the specifics. They chose not to listen or act, and completely dismissed our advice as nonsense. This is on them.

        There’s a purposeful twist of language by you.

        The way they used “we” simply implies they are a citizen of the US, not that they are an agent of the US gov security apparatus.
