Agreed, but I don't think the commenter you're replying to is claiming to have lied to border control agents. They're just pointing out that no one was actually checking their documents for validity, and the one automated check that happened wasn't even accurate.

This is correct. No lying was needed (we did do the tests, they were negative, etc.) Only I was forced to alter the documents because the automated systems kept rejecting mine due to my birthday being too close, but outside of the window (as evidenced by it immediately accepting it once I removed my birthday).

No, MrDunham didn't lie, not in any material way, but he made this comment: "After we arrived in Rome I realized I could have literally found a copy of the email on the Internet, put my name and test time in, and uploaded."

That's what I was responding to.
