BOSTON – WBZ I-Team sources say the FBI, along with other federal agents, entered the wrong hotel room as part of a training exercise.

Sources told WBZ chief investigative reporter Cheryl Fiandaca that mistakes were made as federal agents conducting a mock investigation in the middle of the night woke up an airline pilot who had no idea what was going on.

They handcuffed the man and interrogated him for nearly an hour before realizing their mistake, sources said.

It happened on the 15th floor of the Revere Hotel on Stuart Street.

I-Team sources say late Tuesday night, FBI and Department of Defense agents banged on the door to Room 1505 demanding to be let in.

A Delta Air Lines pilot who was a guest at the hotel was sleeping inside, woke up and opened the door. Agents barged in, handcuffed the man who is in his 30s, interrogated him and put him in the shower.

No wonder we have such a policing problem.

2. So there are role player who get handcuffed and hose down in the shower?

Hmmmm wonder what that pays.

3. Depends on if you enjoy it or not...

and if you don’t enjoy it it’s just a one shot deal.

If you do, you get to keep the cuffs.

11. Unintended consequences

The pilots rest was interrupted.
Likely the pilot could not legally operate his next flight (for lack of rest under the laws).
Thus a different pilot would need to be called.
That pilot's next assignment might be affected and the first pilot would not be where he was to have been for his next flight.
And so on.

12. "Thankfully nobody was injured"

Should there have been injuries?

I wonder what the actual role player was thinking? “These guys are always late.”

The comment from the experienced FBI trainer is weird. Why do you have to do the training at a certain time to be realistic? Can’t you pretend that 10PM is 5AM?

Overall, the article is poorly written. It’s all over the place and repeats itself.
