Former NSA head Michael Hayden took the train today. He spent his time on the phone, giving interviews to reporters in which he asked to be identified only as an anonymous former senior administration official. What Hayden didn't know was that ex-MoveOn'er Tom Matzzie was sitting within earshot and livetweeting Hayden's anonymous conversations. Oops.
Former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden on Acela behind me blabbing "on background as a former senior admin official" Sounds defensive.

Tom Matzzie (@tommatzzie) October 24, 2013On Acela: Michael Hayden was talking to Massimo Calabresi at TIME I am pretty sure. Does he tweet?
Tom Matzzie (@tommatzzie) October 24, 2013On Acela: former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden just ended last of handful of interviews bashing admin.
Tom Matzzie (@tommatzzie) October 24, 2013On Acela listening to former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden give "off record" interviews. I feel like I'm in the NSA. Except I'm in public.
Tom Matzzie (@tommatzzie) October 24, 2013On Acela: phone ringing. I think the jig is up. Maybe somebody is telling him I'm here. Do I hide?Hayden's office eventually called to tell him that he was being spied on. At which point Hayden said hello to Mattzie and the two snapped a photo. Not a bad sport, considering.

You's think he would understand the meaning of the word "security" would't you?
The first Tweet was @ 1:20 and the last @ 1:57 - and elapsed time of 37 minutes, which just goes to show how real time surveillance is as presumably his old firm was keeping tabs on him and alerted him to the fact he was being listened to.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
