USA TODAY has requested more information from the Mexican Embassy and the official named in the Fox News report. We'll update this posting if they get back to us before the end of the day
This should be all over the media.
This official should be permanently banned from ever entering the U.S. again.
Diplomatic immunity only applies to diplomats.

Mexican official fired in White House BlackBerry caper
A Mexican official allegedly swiped half a dozen or more BlackBerrys belonging to his White House counterparts during a U.S.-Mexico summit this week, according to news reports. The theft is said to have taken place during the North American Leaders' Summit in New Orleans between President Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Rafael Quintero Curiel, a member of Calderon's press office, allegedly took six or seven BlackBerrys belonging to White House staff from a table outside a room in the hotel where Mexican officials were meeting with Bush, according to a report in Fox News. The U.S. officials had been required to leave the devices before entering the high-level meeting, and discovered them missing when the meeting concluded.
The U.S. Secret Service is said to have caught Quintero Curiel pocketing the devices on a surveillance video. Mexican media confirmed the story and Mexican officials told The Times today that Quintero Curiel was fired after he returned to Mexico. According to Fox News, the Secret Service caught up with him at the airport, where he "said it was purely accidental, gave [the BlackBerrys] back, claimed diplomatic immunity and left New Orleans with the Mexican delegation." Mexican officials who asked not to be named told The Times that Quintero Curiel said he had picked up the BlackBerrys because he believed they belonged to the Mexican delegation. The matter is being investigated, the official said.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said at a news conference today that she didn't know whether the BlackBerrys contained any sensitive material. Quintero Curiel was the vice director of Calderon's advance team. He earned the equivalent of about $48,000 a year, according to public records.

Good! Let it be a lesson. It makes you wonder what information they hoped to gain from them. He could have been the scapegoat and he just got caught.
