Tell me if I'm reading this wrong. I want to be reading this wrong.

Is this saying that when you viewed a certain page (which I assume had only one person's SSN visible, or perhaps other teacher information like names), the "invisible" SSNs were just hidden with `display: none` or similar?

I think what actually happened is that there was a page where you could get information about a particular educator. In the HTML source the server returned for that page private information about *that educator* was included in non-displaying elements.

Makes sense. Jesus, though.
