They dropped to 10000 as a precuation re possible loss of pressurisation, as a suspect device was found onboard, turned out to be a mobile phone.

Apparently the Mobile Phone belonged to a passenger on the incoming flight.

Makes you wonder about a few things though...how thorough the cleaning was performed not being the major one.
