Free Trade includes assorted Blackberries?


What?

An aide to Mexico’s president has lost his job after allegedly swiping BlackBerrys off a table outside of diplomatic talks taking place in New Orleans this week…

Rafael Quintero Curiel, who coordinated Mexican journalists who follow the president, was confronted Tuesday by Secret Service agents at the New Orleans airport and then by Mexican officials once he returned home…

Video surveillance cameras apparently caught Curiel taking the devices, which is how the Secret Service agents were able to track him down so quickly.

The White House said the BlackBerrys were recovered but declined further comment.

Maybe they were just souvenirs?
