Hey no big deal....it’s just goodies at Jorge Arbusto’s blanco house. Si, mi casa es su casa. No problema hombre!

JM: "We finally found out who really stole those straw... uh ...blackberries."

HC: "It's been a long time coming John"

[L98Fiero]

I’ve carried government issued Blackberrys and managed two different government Blackberry servers. All devices should be affixed with an Asset ID tag with the name of the command and an inventory control number.

Methinks the guy was trying to abscond with some goodies. ;)

Mexican press attache was caught on camera by Secret Service pocketing several White House BlackBerries

Just sloppy...sloppy thats all...sloppy incident! Paging Sandy Burglar (Ladron).

I dont want them to get my Blackberry or I could not call out....

I agree that these are a gold mine of information. That is why I would have expected a Secret Service agent to have been posted to watch the table. They must not have had that as they had to rely on a review of surveillance camera video to figure out who took the devices.

Stealing the BlackBerrys Americans won’t steal

When I read the title, I just imagined some poor slob waking next to the whitehouse, seeing some blackberrys and eating them and suddenly dozens of secret service run out, taze him, handcuff him, and send him to gitmo.

Pray she was offered diplomatic immunity (sarc)

[Fresh Wind]

Did he take them right off the Bush?

[DBrow]

Perhaps if there had been a human attendant, this gentleman would not have been flushed out.

I’m glad they got him, I bet it’s not the first time he slurped data from peoples’ portables.

[The Great RJ]

He was probably a migrant worker just there to harvest the berries.

[Oratam]

Casus Belli!

[lilycicero]

I accidentally pinged you.

[jdub]

Yes. It's called "diplomatic immunity", and our guys overseas enjoy it too.

Press Attache's have diplomatic immunity?

[SeafoodGumbo]

This reminds me of the Russian in Putin’s entourage who tried to pass counterfeit U.S. bills somewhere in New England a few years ago.

[RedRover]

That used to happen to me all the time. But the medicated salve worked wonders.

[diogenes ghost]

Just another fruit-picking wetback.
