this was a guy found near ground zero with specialized aviation equipment, it turns out just a horrible coincidence for him, but still, even you would have been suspious, right?

Of course I would be suspicious, and I don't think that they did anything wrong in hauling him in and checking out his story. I even give a lot of leniency for the "holy shit the world just went to hell" feeling that permeated the country for the next six months or so.
If I were on the jury when this case goes back down for trial (based on the opinion, including the redacted bits), I'd probably not find anything wrong with the hotel for turning him in, but I would have problems with the way that the FBI gathers information. Mostly because it's a perfect example of why the method doesn't really work for getting any useful information AND it put a totally innocent man through utter hell.
And I still fail to see why it's classified.
