Fake veterinarian worked for USDA?

I was out with the family picking up some Chinese and wine last night and a woman waiting for her take-out said, “Oh, I’m glad to know you eat here.”
“Not usually, but it’s Chinese so everything’s cooked.”
She then introduced herself as a veterinary student at Kansas State University who’d seen me lecture a few weeks ago. And then she asked me if I’d seen the story about the fake U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinarian.
I said, “Slipped my mind.”
I don’t see everything so if barfblogcom readers see anything of interest, please send along.
The student did, and it concerns a story that aired in Feb. 2010 in Atlanta.
WSB TV reports that a man used fraudulent credentials to land a job as a veterinarian with the U.S. Department of Agriculture where he worked in Atlanta-based food safety and inspection service for the past four years.
I don’t know how much of this is true or why the story didn’t get much national play – so judge for yourselves.
