warning1369 could have issues if he believes what the TSA may do to those hosting the SOP. Based on the time line, he disclosed the number of employees placed on admin leave before it hit the wires. In addition, Heyman didn't disclose the number; it took an anonymous source to do so. As such, the TSA must consider that info to be rather confidential.
