Here me out on this one, The government of the USA has the right to withhold information especially when it involves a threat to national security disclosing such information or confirming that their is Gold in Fort Knox will make that place a known target for criminals or even terrorist who really wants the economy of USA collapse, saying that there is no Gold in Fort Knox will definitely give a massive panic but the most brilliant way to avoid this is stating that the gold is on an undisclosed place well guarded by the government.

You are 100% correct, but why not disclose this to a reputable citizen that are not associated with the American government? They do not even have guards inside Fort Knox, according to a previous guard that worked there. All of the security measures are on the outside to prevent people from knowing what is going on in the inside.

It would be stupid to store all your Gold in one place, because one Nuke will render all that gold worthless, but some of Americas most precious original documents are also being stored there. Wink

Well it only take 1 person to spill out the beans, especially when he/she is reputable spilling that kind of confidential info would mean disaster to the government and the US economy that is what you don't want to happen. The US government won't obviously wast their money and resources in guarding/depending Fort Knox if it does not contain anything, even if it is not Gold they are storing they might be protecting something precious or important inside, I don't even think that they are faking it just to fool everyone in the public.
