Re: Federal agents enter wrong Boston hotel room, interrogated man during training
#2In the age of broadband internet mobile phones, in the most “advanced” country in the world with the most “qualified” people, it took 45min+ to verify if they have illegally detained the right person or not?
A simple call to a supervisor to confirm if the role player is who they are talking should have fixed this in less than 2min.

Why would you call your supervisor if you believe the role player is role playing someone you should interrogate?
First you need to have a doubt about that person being the role player, but them denying that they are who they are might seem like the expected response.
At most I could imagine the person in the other room, expecting a "surprise" interrogation might be wondering why nobody has been knocking on their door for 45 minutes. But maybe they don't know when the exact moment should be.

Because in a non training scenario, if a suspect claims they are not who the authorities think they are, there should be some effort made by the authorities to ensure they are not violating the rights of an innocent person.
Especially when it should be as simple as texting a photo and name of the actual suspect back and forth within seconds. Or maybe in this case, it would be verifying the hotel room number.
Either way, this verification step does not seem like it should take 45min+.

#5I’m curious as to the details to why the interrogators “put him in the shower?” Are we bringing back waterboarding? Why did EMTs need to respond when it became clear they had the wrong person?
And what hotel would allow loud FBI door-banging “training courses” in the middle of the night? It’s not plausible as the FBI’s in-house training facilities are pretty advanced.
In short this sounds like a cover up, at the very least. But the thing about the shower really is disturbing and warrants more information.

I would guess that they called the EMT's to make sure that the pilot was alright both physically and somewhat mentally. If they had not called EMT and then the guy went on to have a heart attack or jumped out the window, everyone would wonder why they did try to verify that he was medically ok.
My guess for the shower is that it is probably a smaller room in the hotel room, without access to the windows or door. Putting someone in there makes them feel more confined.

I also found it entirely implausible that this was a "training exercise", conducted at a civilian-occupied hotel in a major city. The real question is: What were the FBI really doing/looking for in that hotel?
And, so what's next? Will Marriott give me the option to stay in a "Water-front, certified non-FBI training room." in the future?

I've been binge-watching Ozark, it makes me wonder too if "it's a training" is just a cover story.
TV-script-speculation: Maybe they were trying to spook some other pilot who was supposed to be there, but the poor guest in room 1505 had been reassigned to fly the route of the target pilot.
