Good on 548 for coming forward, although the major discrepancies between their statement and FIRST's report still leaves questions for me.
Assuming 548's account to be accurate, what would have happened if he hadn't made his point? The field personnel appear to have brushed him off originally. There may have never been an Einstein investigation, and we never would have known what happened. We also wouldn't have known that there was a vulnerability, and as such it may have been years before it was fixed.

Because the individual did this only after attempting to interact with the field personnel, I feel his actions were entirely warranted and correct.

Of course, this is all predicated on 548's version of events being correct. It seems believable to me, primarily because FIRST was so vague in this area.
