In early 2008 TAC found itself at the midst of a scandal when a State Department spokesman revealed that a TAC contractor gained unauthorized access on March 14 to the passport records for Barack Obama and John McCain. [ [http://deepbackground.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/21/794799.aspx Passport scandal leads to Virginia contractors] ] The TAC employee, who has not been named, is the only individual to have accessed both Mr. Obama's and Mr. McCain's passport information without proper authorization, a State Department spokesman said. The employee's actions triggered an electronic alarm system, according to sources familiar with the probe.
