I love AA, but if there isn't a business case for doing so, I doubt they will solve this problem.
As wronged as you may have been, if you felt so strongly you should have spoken to the police while they were there , though they probably still would have ignored you
All the things you list may be illegal or wrong, but you have no standing to complain about most of them (legally speaking)
And trust me, from what you've described, the actions of the AAgent do not amount to slander, nor were you wrongfully detained.
But if you feel strongly enough about these things, i'm sure you can find some lawyer willing to bill you hundreds of dollars an hour on a case that is questionable at best
