Chief of firm involved in breach is Obama adviser - CNN.com

I know the press it’s “scandalous” that people working in the state department were looking at passport files of the presidential candidates, but really, it’s a scandal how?

I see it as this, some contract workers do what anyone in a job that has access to information would do - looked someone up. Sure it wasn’t “right” but they didn’t take the info of what they found to the press it looks like. If they don’t want strangers looking at ciitizens passport files they need to NOT hire contractors, they need to lock those down. They need to do things differently.

I mean, if it was me, and I had some kind of access to all sorts of people… I know me, I would totally be looking up people I knew and if Hasselhoff was news that day I’d look him up for fun. I mean really, it’d kinda be like googling someone - only cooler. Would it be wrong? Oh yeah, but you know after you do the first one, the rush is gone and you’d do more. You know it.

Maybe it’s just me.
