They don't stamp your passport unless you're going to be in the US for more then 24 hours (or overnight?) - unless the laws have changed recently (my wife's cousin in France comes here once a year).
It would be extremely difficult to be in JFK one day, have your passport stamped, and then be back the next day to take a phone call (he wouldn't arrive in Europe until at LEAST 8-10 hours later plus 4-6 hours for the timezone difference). If he caught an early flight (6am?) he wouldn't be in Europe until at least 6PM and if I was on that long of a flight there is no way I would be taking calls (other than family).
You / the respondent should have called reverse hijacking (but it seems you did everything else but that - coming very close to calling it).

I think the respondent needs to make that claim before the panelists can make that ruling but from the writeup, it seems that they would have made that ruling if it was claimed.
