Huh? An intelligence officer is exactly the type of person who wouldn't "appear to be in a position where his continued employment with the government would be an issue" while actually still being a government employee. Who's to say that he isn't still working with the NSA?

I'm far from a routine skeptic but c'mon ... This post sounds like a PR message.

Well, theoretically he could still be an intelligence officer. Claiming to be a former NSA employee who got out to start up a mayonnaise company is a frankly strange and unusually high-profile cover to work under. Maybe someone can order some mayo from him and tell us if he's legit.

Alternately, maybe this is some giant conspiracy to get us to buy NSA-sponsored mayonnaise.

That's what I was thinking - he is a fake and is using NSA to get you to his Mayonnaise. Honestly, those declassified numbers at the bottom of his post do sound made up.
