The reason for his detainment is still not fully known. News is that he was detained under the suspicion that the parcel he had mailed to US contained cocaine. But he claims there is absolutely no wrong he has done this time.

His luggage which was stripped off by customs official contained a MacBook Pro, a Dell XPS M1210 laptop, an Asus 900 mini-laptop, three or four hard drives, numerous USB storage devices, some Bluetooth dongles, three iPhones, and four Nokia cell phones (with different SIM cards for different countries) They also found a lock-picking kit and an HID proximity card spoofer that can be used to snag data stored on physical access cards by swiping it in front of them. The data can then be used to enter locked doors without having to make a forged access card. However Mitnick claims that he used these device in a demonstration about security in his speech in Bogota.
