A federal agency violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if agency authorities take (or threaten to take) retaliatory personnel action against any employee or applicant because of disclosure of information by that employee or applicant.
I'm going to assume a death threat is a retaliatory personnel action as that would be the ultimate termination from one's job.
