How is this possible when they can't get a stupid health insurance website to work?

Don't tell the feds, but I've also been monitoring the public internet in real time (reading Twitter) for years.

Within 15 or so minutes, someone somewhere noticed the tweets, and informed someone who knew Hayden.

What a dumb story. Former government officials who do a lot of press interviews have staff that monitor the press!

I usually enjoy Schneier's postings but this is a little bit silly. There's no evidence that "government monitoring" had anything to do with this incident. Someone noticed the tweets and informed Hayden. We don't seem to have any further information so jumping to conclusions seems silly.
