I think that just means it took them over 35-40 mins to even realize they might have the wrong person.

Which ironically goes to prove that their interrogation tactics are basically crap, considering it took over 40 mins to realize they got the wrong person.

Which is not surprising at all, because it really does seem US law enforcement agencies seem to base their tactics more on shows like 24 as opposed to what actually works (I’ve had a conversation with a hostage specialist trainer, and the most shocking part to me was when he told me they spend almost no time on de-escalation training).

The victim is a pilot, it is safe to assume they spoke English and told the agents they are mistaken immediately when they woke him up.

Which is just what the perp would say! /s

But seriously, if that's what the training is supposed to be... Not that it's justified (it's not, in my opinion) but at least more understandable in this case.

(Obviously the problem is "what the training is supposed to be".)

Maybe they should use a danger word, one that has to be spoken to signal everything's fine.
