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.

Exactly. This seems like linkbait, through and through. Reminds me of the "FBI Google pressure cooker" story a few months ago[1].
