Kind of a silly tangent, but: it looks like Keith Alexander is wearing a Casio F91W, which is infamous for being the watch of choice of terrorists, particularly Osama bin Laden and numerous Guantanamo detainees. It's also popular with hipsters and hackers. I wonder if it was some kind of dog whistle? Or the same wardrobe people that put him in an EFF shirt to make him appear "relevant" did it.

Kind of a shame that "using cheap, high-quality equipment" is now evidence of criminal activity. As if I wasn't inadvertently on enough government watch lists already :(
