I have a TWIC card, and the rules are pretty straight forward.

http://www.tsa.gov/stakeholders/frequently-asked-questions-0#disqualification

Conviction for one of the following felonies is disqualifying if the applicant was convicted, pled guilty (including 'no contest'), or found not guilty by reason of insanity within 7 years of the date of the TWIC application; OR if the applicant was released from prison after conviction within 5 years of the date of the application. The applicant may apply for a waiver.

You can not have your TWIC card revoked because someone "accuses" you of something ... we would simply accuse all of our competitors of doing something. Something is not right with this story.
