Do you have a source for that?
Save precious time - know and respond quickly to the warning signs of stroke:

Most of us have headaches or clumsy spells now and then. But the symptoms of stroke will seem unusual and come on suddenly. Call 911 if you or someone you’re with notices these unexplained, sudden warning signs:
  1. A feeling of numbness or weakness in your face, arm, or leg (You might notice it on one side more than the other.)
  2. Vision problems in one or both eyes
  3. Dizziness or loss of balance; difficulty walking
  4. Confusion
  5. Problems speaking or understanding what other people are saying

  6. Shortness of breath

There was quite a bit more information about the alleged situation and the FAA security bulletin on the heavily moderated subreddit a few hours ago.

Also, some relevant moderated discussion at pointsixtyfive.com

My guess, the FAA will go quiet, call this a private personnel matter and hope the media and NTSB don't pursue it further.

Or, the federal assistant attorney general. Lack of enforcement constitutes corruption.
