There are few symbols of modern power as instantly recognisable as a man in a dark suit with an earpiece, scanning a crowd that is cheering for someone else. The posture is familiar, almost cinematic now. The face is neutral, but the attention is absolute. He is there to be unnoticed and yet, paradoxically, he is impossible to ignore. He stands near the president, near a president’s spouse, near a visiting leader, near a microphone, near a motorcade door, near the edge of a stage. Sometimes he seems to be watching nothing at all.
