It was recently reported that cell phone data records of President-Elect Obama were improperly breached by several Verizon Wireless employees. The phone is reported to be voice only and there was no access to e-mail voice messages.

Verizon Wireless President and Chief Executive Lowell McAdam apologized to Obama and said all employees who had had access to Obama's account, whether authorized or not, were put on immediate leave with pay.

Verizon Wireless has launched an internal invesigation. Employees involved face suspension and even teermination.

How uncool and unwise of those employees. Their antics are a perfect example why he shouldn't use a BlackBerry.
