Yeah, intel is one thing, and yes, they all do it.
That said, the order by a cabinet level official in the United States
government to STEAL credit card numbers, and much other private
information, from diplomats or anybody else on United States soil, is
absolutely, totally, blatantly a flaunt against the US Constitution, and
what's more, it is a CRIME that should get prison time.
Payback for Travelgate, Filegate. Somebody got her files this time. But
instead of using the info for blackmail and to prevent impeachment, this
guy just blew it to the wind.

The US has done that in the UK and Australia, as well as the Untied Nations

At least if the USA is still in one piece then, her political life is dead.
