    A possible answer: “I’m sorry, but when someone is bleeding to death in front of me while screaming incoherently, my priority isn’t on finding out who their employer is and they’d be unable to tell me even if I asked.” Might stir some vestigial sense of shame in the bureacrat asking the question. Or not.
