Well, that would do it.

The part that I find a little hard to believe is that the police ordered AA to turn over the manifest, AA just turned over one passenger's information, and the police were ok with that. Is there any evidence that this is true? That's kind of a key point because if AA did, in fact, turn over the whole manifest, then there is absolutely no claim against AA.
Beyond that, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure that AA would have any liability for police misconduct or mistreatment even if they did misidentify him. It would be reasonable for AA to expect the police to act within the law after they turned over the information.
The thing is with FOJ warrants, nobody would go off an identification provided by an airline. Fingerprints would be requested from the original agency, as well as photos. That along with identification items such as a drivers license, and other items with him that had his identity on it would be used.
Ive seen it where the priginal agency could provide nothing other than a name and DOB, and the person has no ID.
We would print them and run it through the system and see if it matched, but other than that the person would be released.
