Botched FBI and Army training exercises lead to wrongful detentions.
TL;DR
Army special operators and FBI agents mistakenly entered and detained a Delta Air Lines pilot in a hotel room in Boston during a Defense Department training exercise. The soldiers and federal agents had the wrong room number and interrogated the pilot for 30 minutes before realizing their mistake. The FBI and Army are reviewing the incident, and the Revere Hotel did not comment. The pilot filed a police report but declined medical treatment, and Delta Air Lines said it was providing support.
