Anybody who mistakenly have people detained whether it be passengers or flight crew should be personally liable. The risk of being dragged into court and potentially losing everything they own will make airline employees think twice before they have someone inconvenienced and humiliated.
The airlines have been pushed to watch for child trafficking. Employees are required to take classes in what to look for. The problem is 98% of the time you are going to be wrong. Airlines should simply stay out of it. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Do we cause the massive inconvenience of a 3 to 5 minute interview when someone checks several of the boxes considered as potential trafficking indicators to save the 2% you might catch knowing the other 98% will sue you? So much for trying to do the right thing. This is a lose, lose, lose issue for airlines.
