A RIMarkable reader who just happens to work for the United States House of Representatives told me that they, they being Congress and its employees, were offered a special pre-release option for the BlackBerry 8703e from Verizon and that they just started showing up today.

Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Yolanda Clark said that the aircraft was secure and that there was no indication that the BlackBerry was being used as a remote trigger for an explosive device and that United flight 351 was diverted to Dallas “out of an abundance of caution.”
