English term or phrase: BS machine
I have no doubt that there is a lot of "mad cow" in the USA.

If they found it, it was by accident as the only "testing" that is going on is designed to NOT find it.

Now the spin and BS machine will swing into action and they will try and "spin" this away too.
( spin is just a more "neutral" descriptive term for lieing, you didn't think spin meant truth did you).
