We have used X-ray spectra to measure attenuating columns in a large sampleof Seyfert galaxies. Over 30 of these sources have resolved radio jets,allowing the relative orientation of the nucleus and host galaxy to beconstrained. We have discovered that the distribution of absorbing columns isstrongly correlated with the relative orientation of the Seyfert structures.This result is inconsistent with unification models including only a torus andis instead most readily explained if a second absorber is included: in additionto a Compton-thick, parsec-scale torus there would also be a larger-scaleabsorber with N_H < 10^{23} cm^{-2}. The second absorber is aligned with thehost galactic plane while the torus is arbitrarily misaligned.
