<<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.>>

I read about this yesterday. He was misusing his government vehicle and stealing from the government by saying he stayed in a hotel but actually slept in the car. That right there is enough to get fired from.
