The FBI was embarrassed to admit that they raided the wrong hotel room. A pilot for Delta Airlines, who was just trying to get some shut-eye, isn’t happy about the torture session he was subjected to in the suite’s bathroom. If it was supposed to be a training session, the recruits certainly learned what they aren’t supposed to do.
FBI barges in boldly
The FBI isn’t saying much other than confirming, yep we screwed up big-time. They’re certainly living up to their Federal Bureau of Instigation moniker.
The bureau accidentally “detained” a person “during a federal training exercise at a Boston hotel.” Participants, a spokesunit sheepishly admits, “went to the wrong room.”
Instead of encountering a seasoned veteran FBI agent who expected them, the rookies encountered a seasoned veteran airline pilot who happened to look like a fed. They thought his protests of being an innocent victim were part of the act for their training.

He wasn’t acting, he was simply an ordinary guest of the hotel. They handcuffed and interrogated him anyway, for practice. It gets better.
It’s been reported that “around 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, FBI agents knocked loudly on the door of a room at the Revere Hotel in downtown Boston.” The pilot, “a man in his 30s, opened the door and was handcuffed and interrogated in a bathroom shower.”
They had him strung up there and were grilling him relentlessly for a full hour, while the training agent was going spastic wondering why they hadn’t appeared for their lesson.
Defense Department training
American citizens will be assured to know how thoroughly trained FBI agents are. These ones in specific were “expecting to find a role player who was part of the mock training program for a Defense Department training simulation.”
The bureau notes that “no one was injured during the mishap” which occurred because of “inaccurate information.”
It turns out that the agents “were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player,” the official FBI press release notes. CBS talked to Lt. Col. Mike Burns of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. He explained to them that the “training was meant to enhance soldiers’ skills to operate in realistic and unfamiliar environments.”

This was a whole lot more realistic than they bargained for. “The training team, unfortunately, entered the wrong room and detained an individual unaffiliated with the exercise,” he confirmed in a statement.
The bureau also writes, “safety is always a priority of the FBI, and our law enforcement partners, and we take these incidents very seriously.”
The Boston Division, they insist, “is reviewing the incident with DOD for further action as deemed appropriate.” Delta says “the airline was looking into reports of an incident that may have involved its personnel.“
