@Viss just found it in Urban Dictionary:

Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend in to the native population's habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they "glow in the dark."

I wonder if the people not knowing what a glowie is are glowies pretending not to know, if they're new to the Internet or if they just never learned basic OPSEC.
Fascinating.
