FBI's botched training exercise leads to wrongful detainment of hotel guests and pilot.
TL;DR
The FBI accidentally detained a hotel guest in Boston during a training mission after entering the wrong hotel room. The guest was handcuffed and interrogated in a bathroom shower before being released nearly an hour later. The FBI said no one was injured during the mishap, which occurred because of "inaccurate information." The training was part of a Defense Department simulation to enhance soldiers' skills to operate in realistic and unfamiliar environments.
