The facts in the article are from various news sources on the web, and can be checked out pretty easily. Much of the MSM is referring to Jeanne as a "security guard", inferring that she was licensed by the state.

The word is "implying". It's the one who is reading or hearing something that does the inferring. Furthermore, you can infer something without its ever having been implied.

Absolutely correct. My wife infers things that I never implied all the time. I've often used the old Barry Farber line "Please do not infer what I did not imply.
