They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Phillips on the left, Pozidriv on the right. Note the blades on the Phillips are tapered, while the Pozi has parallel sides. Also Phillips is pointier. They are really incompatible.
