Mexican Attaché Attempts to Make Off With White House BlackBerrys
During a recent political meetup in New Orleans, a Mexican press attaché managed to slip a half dozen or so BlackBerrys into his pocket before darting to the airport with visions of black market markups in his head. Before he could exit the country, however, Secret Service had tracked him down after catching him via surveillance footage.
As it stands, the responsible individual has been fired from his post, but there's been no word on whether the US will take any further actions. Reevaluating the whole "leaving them out in the open" practice may be a good start -- just sayin'. [Source: Fox News via The Boy Genius Report]

If I had a blackberry I'd never accept to just leave it in an unguarded basket... It serves these people right for being so careless
