(Witness Nixon era Chuck Colson admitting to having one file and going to jail) But this seems to be for curiosity or possible financial gain selling tidbits to tabloids by nonpolitical employees.

Brennan, a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. ObamaÂ’s presidential campaign on intelligence and foreign policy. The TAC employee is the only individual to have accessed both Mr. ObamaÂ’s and Mr. McCainÂ’s passport information without proper authorization, a State Department spokesman said. That employee, who was not named, triggered an electronic alarm system, officials familiar with the probe said." http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080322/NATION/243762495/1001
