It's possible it won't be detected. Parcels sent locally don't go through nearly the level of security as customs puts foreign packages through.

Isn't it technically a foreign package travelling from the UK (I presume) to the Ecuadorean embassy, which is Ecuadorean soil?

It is not actually their soil :) [1]

Contrary to popular belief, embassies are not in fact foreign soil.

How does it holds internet connection? Police will definitely notice it for Julian - and will x-ray it. Then they'll see wires and circuitry inside. Bomb? Would be interesting to see progress...

Simplest way would be a cell phone + app I'd think.

We'll see a policeman's face with a look that says "I wonder what this little hole is for."
