Verizon Employees Fired For Snooping Obama's Record

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-wait-a-minute dept.

longhairedgnome writes "The curiosity in President-elect Barack Obama's phone records came with a high price tag for Verizon Wireless employees. According to CNN, the workers who snooped on Obama's phone records have been fired. 'This was some employees' idle curiosity,' a company source told CNN and added 'we now consider this matter closed.' Justice served? What about legal possibilities?" Can we expect anyone who followed a warrantless wiretap from the Bush administration to also be fired then? I mean, they violated our privacy as well.

    It's becoming increasingly clear that only celebrities and criminals have the right to privacy.
