Will any State Department employees be fired for the viewing of celebrity passports by Aug 1st?
Settled as No
There are no reports on this, so I'm settling as "No"
Background:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The State Department inspector general Thursday blasted the security of U.S. passport files, saying the repeated access of over 100 celebrities' files had gone undetected and unpunished.
On Thursday, in a heavily redacted report, the inspector general revealed that a test showed the files of at least 127 famous persons had been accessed repeatedly, although it was unclear whether the access was authorized.
