That American Airlines may charge $450 for an overweight checked bag on some international flights has absolutely nothing to do with this woman's problem.
She was flying on U.S. Airways from California to Idaho, and there is nothing to indicate that her bag was overweight.
She had $30 with her and the fee for checking two bags was $60.
