    Mexican Official Caught Stealing WH Cell Phones!!!

    Secret Service Catch Mexican Official Nabbing White House BlackBerries

    Wednesday, April 23, 2008

    Whether he was up to no good or simply desperate to play BrickBreaker, a Mexican press attache was caught on camera by Secret Service pocketing several White House BlackBerries during a recent meeting in New Orleans, FOX News has learned.

    Sources with knowledge of the incident said the official, whose first name is Rafael, took six or seven of the handheld devices from a table outside a special room in the hotel where the Mexican delegation was meeting with President Bush.

    Everyone entering the room was required to leave their cell phones, BlackBerries and other such devices on the table, a commonplace practice when high-level meetings are held. American officials discovered their missing belongings when they were leaving the session.

    It didn't take long before Secret Service officials reviewed videotape taken by a surveillance camera and found footage showing "Rafael" absconding with the BlackBerries.

    Sources said "Rafael" made it all the way to the airport, where the Mexican president was preparing to leave New Orleans, before Secret Service officers caught up with him. He was forced to return the BlackBerries.

    Sources said the man claimed to have taken the devices accidentally. The sources said they believe no further actions were taken against him by American authorities, though it is unclear what disciplinary measures, if any, await him in Mexico.

    Exactly how does one "accidentally take" 6 or 7 electronic devices from a table? Did he "accidentally" bump into the table and the 6 or 7 devices "accidentally" fall into his pocket and he just-didn't-notice? Sure-THAT MUST BE WHAT HAPPENED! Otherwise he would be arrested and prosecuted. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :evil:

    It would be sweet to see that videotape on the evening news. :P
