A Delta Air Lines pilot was sleeping in the targeted room where the botched training exercise took place
The FBI and other federal agents burst into the wrong Boston hotel room Tuesday night during a training exercise, startling the guest inside who had no idea what was going on as he was handcuffed.
The incident occurred on the 15th floor of the Revere Hotel as agents were conducting a mock investigation. FBI agents were assisting the U.S. Department of Defense in a training exercise inside the hotel to simulate a situation that DOD personnel might encounter in a deployed environment.
"Based on inaccurate information, they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player," the FBI said in a statement.
The agents targeted room 1505, where a Delta Air Lines pilot was sleeping inside and opened the door, WBZ-TV reported.
When agents went in, they handcuffed the man, who is in his 30s, before interrogating him and putting him in the shower, the news report said.
They eventually realized the mistake and apologized.
"First and foremost, we’d like to extend our deepest apologies to the individual who was affected by the training exercise," Lt. Col. Mike Burns of the United States Special Operations Command told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The training team, unfortunately, entered the wrong room and detained an individual unaffiliated with the exercise."
Hotel security was alerted to the incident and called the Boston Police Department.

OOOPS...
“OOOPS...”
I still say that the FBI fell for a Swatting...but is trying to cover up their IDIOCY.
Either way, it’s worth about $200M to the pilot.
Where does this guy live?
He should get his local prosecutor to indict the Fey Wray and the Meritless Garland on at least 35 Felony counts.
Is this the normal procedure to question someone?
Never talk to fbi scumbags or cops.
“Either way, it’s worth about $200M to the pilot.”

fbi has no credibility...

He is lucky they didn’t waterboard him.
The F Troop strikes again!
Thats what I was wondering. This sounds like a military interrogation. I would asserted my 5th amendment right.
Great idea, go to an occupied hotel for training exercises.
Since when does our military question American citizens?
