It's a time-honored rule: When staying in a hotel, always check to make sure you've got the right room number.
That goes double if you're breaking down the door:
NY POST Tweet:
FBI agents handcuff, interrogate Delta pilot after entering wrong hotel room in training mishap https://trib.al/MIS6uvn
A Boston hotel guest was awakened in the middle of the night by federal agents who barged into his room, handcuffed him, threw him into the shower and interrogated him for an hour — before they realized they had entered the wrong room.
So it seems these consummate professional were engaged in a training exercise in which they were supposed to barge into the hotel room, toss a paid actor into the bathroom, and grill him for a while.
I don't exactly know why this is part of the FBI's training repertoire. What exactly is this supposed to teach the agents? How to interrogate a dude on the payroll? There's no field application there. It's kind of beyond me.
Also beyond me is how federal agents could do something as basically stupid as get the wrong room number. But they did:
They pushed into the room, handcuffed the pilot and reportedly put him in the shower, according to the station.
Then the agents interrogated the man, said to be in his 30s, for nearly an hour until they realized they had the wrong guy.
You just have to imagine how that poor guy felt being on the receiving end of what he imagined was a legitimate FBI interrogation.
And you just got to love picturing the other guy waiting in his hotel room for the FBI agents to show up, wondering where the heck they were.
Let's hope this guy parlays his troubles into a hefty payout from the dunderheaded FBI!
Everyone needs to practice saying, “I’m happy to talk to you as soon as my lawyer gets here.” The key is to just keep repeating that.
The government did the same thing to a farm family because they had sold unprocessed milk. Kept the entire family, including children in handcuffs for hours while they shouted questions at them. Something has gone very wrong with our government.
They need training badly.
I thought they had a place in Quantico, VA for training.
Pilots need their sleep. There’s a good chance this pilot was too rattled and tired to fly the next day.

Using a Forearm?...................Well, at least it wasn’t a Firearm...........or a Four Iron.........

Before any other action, the pilot should check his underwear drawer.
FBI; Future Brainiacs of Investigating.
I wonder what their interrogation was about?
And did they make him confess?....................
And nobody will be held accountable.
Federal agents are basically stupid. 1

Why was he thrown in the shower?
They put him in the shower? Sounds like they water boarded him.
“False arrest, breaking and entering, unlawful sequestration. Serious crimes here. “

“A Boston hotel guest was awakened in the middle of the night by federal agents who barged into his room, handcuffed him, threw him into the shower and interrogated him for an hour — before they realized they had entered the wrong room.”
Why roust him out of bed and throw him in the shower? Was he interrogated in the shower with water running? Unbelievable.
Ice Cold water .......................
Reminds me of the time a cop shot Daniel Shaver in the hotel hallway except the cops didn’t shoot the pilot...this time.
This is a cover story. What they are trying to cover up, I don’t know, but no hotel is going to allow a middle of the night training assault when they have other paying customers in the house.
The FBI are lying. They might have been legitimately trying to arrest someone or they were getting revenge on someone they don’t like.
...he fired a couple of 12 gauge shells in their direction.
Highly unlikely.
This particular article doesn’t mention it but they stripped him naked and put him in a cold water shower.
Shame he wasn’t armed and waiting on them.
