Well then how is it that people were fired for snooping into Obama’s U.S. Passport files?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday.
On Friday, the department revealed that Obama's passport file was improperly accessed three times this year, and the security of passport files of the two other major presidential candidates -- Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain -- had also been breached.
... It seems odd that people would be fired for snooping into a U.S. Passport File that did not exist.
Even a diplomatic passport requires an application and thus produces "files"
