I suppose it's *possible* that at the same time the woman in the tower had a stroke, there was *also* an incident involving another female controller at Las Vegas whcih resulted in the security bulletin, but that's starting to be a pretty large coincidence, isn't it?
She may have well been a security risk; but at the time the FAA made their original statement none of this was forthcoming, so the news agencies made up their own stories with the "fired' angle. At the time of the FAA statement she was "currently not working air traffic." Of course, later events will sort out the reality and yes my post will be overtaken by events, that's what investigations do isn't it. Of course I'm persistent, I'm also pedantic, but it doesn't mean I was wrong at the time, but feel free to score points if you wish.
