I pointed out that this doesn’t make much sense when we are talking about a pair of agents from a federal agency with law enforcement powers; why would they pose as inspectors from a different agency, when they could just invoke their own authority? Claude immediately backtracked and explained that it had been too “caught up in classic ‘undercover’ tropes”.
This won’t impact any major point of yours but a nit for this reasoning: law enforcement do sometimes pose as other law enforcement agencies to secure cooperation; a recent example in the US is ICE posing as local police.
