Hacker Leaks Michelle Obama's Passport (nypost.com)
The hacker who leaked Colin Powell's private email account last week has struck again. This time they have hacked a low-level White House staffer and released a picture of Michelle Obama's passport, along with detailed schedules for top U.S. officials and private email messages. New York Post reports: The information has been posted online by the group DC Leaks. The White House staffer -- who also apparently does advance work for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign -- is named Ian Mellul. The released documents include a PowerPoint outline of Vice President Joe Biden's recent Cleveland trip, showing his planned route, where he'll meet with individuals and other sensitive information, according to the Daily Mail. In an email to The Post, the hacker writes, "The leaked files show the security level of our government. If terrorists hack emails of White House Office staff and get such sensitive information we will see the fall of our country." The hacker adds, "We hope you will tell the people about this criminal negligence of White House Office staffers."

Ex passport service employee here: Type P=Passport, ID=Identity Document, LP=UN laissez-passer, PT=Travel document (issued under United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 and its Protocol of 1967)
It's normal for all passports (including service/special and diplo) to bear the TYPE=P, since well, it's a passport!
