Reminds me that the only employee I ever fired in my 22 years in RM was
someone who "breached" company records policies and was looking at
something they were not supposed to be looking at...for personal
reasons... records of a friend. The policy was made clear to every new
hire...breach this trust and immediate termination...and so that was the
result. And I couldn't believe that this same employee later would put
me down as a reference for other jobs...some even being government jobs
requiring security clearances! Needless to say how I responded!

From reading the Washington Post:
"The employees were each caught because of a computer-monitoring system
that is triggered when the passport account of a "high-profile person"
is accessed without authorization, . . "

My understanding is that the issue is not one of a comprehensive and
authorized background check (and as an aside, I don't believe there is a
requirement for that; moreover, I think the media and the citizenry do a
pretty good job of that today thanks to them there Interwebs).
Instead, this was career State Department employees just, y'know,
looking at
the info in the files for their own purposes, just as there were
employees
with me when I was in government that would look through the traffic
tickets
to see if anyone famous had gotten a ticket (and those of you in
government
probably know people who do/have done that too). It speaks to a failure
of
internal controls (or lack of them altogether).
