I’m told by a former foreign service officer that State Department passport records (as opposed to DHS ICE records) do not reflect where someone has traveled. I’m told the closest it might is the voluntary identification of places for intended travel. Looking at the passport itself would show Obama’s destinations and dates, but not an application for a passport. To see where he has been, someone would need to see the passport itself.

Interesting. Presumably the State Department contractors would know this. So what were the snoopers expecting to find in that file? His Social Security number?

UPDATE: Hey, guess what? Everybody’s passport has been snooped into, including Hillary and McCain.

Maybe they can set it up so that every time a State Department contractor tries to access a computer file that they’re not supposed to, they get a little electric shock through their keyboard or something.
