    Oh. That's upsetting a little bit (well, I mean, upsetting to find out I've been duped.) Where did you hear this?

    @kzodasnowman @PhilipTheBucket yep, here's a screenshot from my phone of the about page

    A screenshot of Twitter's about page for @DHSgov, it only shows the date it joined Twitter (July 2008) and verified since (december 2009).

    Well, that's interesting. It's currently showing "Washington, DC" as the home base for the account for me. Does it show that now for you? If it was blank for a short time, and then started saying DC, that would be interesting.

    @PhilipTheBucket Yep, shows United States for me. But, as the info popup mentions, this data can change. So if they set Washington DC then set to only show the continent, it's possible that the account may have previously been based in Tel Aviv / Israel, if Twitter allows you to change the country somehow.
