<<One federal employee, who was suspected by his employer of misconduct,
sued over the employer's Googling of his name (which came up with previous firings for misconduct).
He said it violated his "right to fundamental fairness", whatever that is. Anyways, judges found otherwise and said the Googling was legit.>>
