A Georgia resident travelling to Las Vegas found himself handcuffed by federal agents on a Delta Air Lines jet bridge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a simple case of mistaken identity. John Phillips, a verified US citizen, says three Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pinned him against a wall before realising they had the wrong man.
The news came after an unusual boarding process where airline staff explicitly told the passenger to wait until everyone else had boarded. Phillips claims gate agents promised him a seat upgrade but cited a sudden 'technical issue' to justify the delay.
