The full. three-page document can be viewed here:  New DOT Enforcement Policy Regarding Mistaken Fares.

After spending an enjoyable three days in Dubai, we arrived at Dubai International Airport where we went through check-in, immigration and security without a hitch.  We had about an hour or so to kill before we needed to go to the gate for another round of security, so we headed to the Lufthansa Senator Lounge…
