Kind of? There was the infamous Brandon Mayfield case a decade ago, where the FBI came down on an innocent American lawyer for the 2004 Madrid train bombings, despite the skepticism of Spanish security, because he was one of twenty people with similar-ish fingerprints.
He was also Muslim, worked on a terrorism case, had interest in flying, and his daughter had done a school project about a hypothetical Spanish vacation, which the FBI built into a damning case of misconstrued circumstantial evidence.
