It is true that the faxer can turn the number display on or off, but Federal laws say it must be transmitted:

"The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C. § 227... and the rules of the Federal Trade Commission require that any message sent to a fax machine must clearly mark on the first page or on each page of the message:

*the date and time the transmission is sent;
*the identity of the sender; and
*the telephone number of the sender or of the sending fax machine.

All fax machines manufactured on or after December 20, 1992 and all facsimile modem boards manufactured on or after December 13, 1995 must have the capability to clearly mark such identifying information on the first page or on each page of the transmission."

So you can add this to the crimes committed by the document forger. Oh, maybe the fax machine was also manufactured in 1972 -- then this law does not apply. : )

I certainly wasn't aware of that regulation.

When I saw those zoom shots this morning, I know I saw something top left, but the zoom was too quick to catch what. I did catch something about CBS News(?) top center.
