Double meaning of headline that Coasts job is on line.
On [the] Line.
Which line? What job? DNI …
Online.
Is his job online, i.e. the bate as in bait and switch?
With bated breath?
Seeing meanings beyond that in plain sight is not a logical pursuit. Sometimes reasoning caches up with intuition and confirms, corrects, expands. What seems krazy, unnatchurall, disconuktud, well, becomes straight line, linear, target-expanded/rich.
