And OP is not a us citizen and is flying through a third country which may or may not be known on arrival by cbp - so what's your point - UA is protecting themselves by singling out someone who hasn't shown proper documentation to fly to a foreign destination? Or is it more likely they are enforcing proper us policy?
Point 1 - from someone who actually knows what they are talking about

Point 2 -
*What CBP? The OP was leaving the USA to Asia via Canada. What exactly does CPB have to do with this? You dont think the CBP would have asked on arrival, how long the OP is in the USA for, and where going afterwards? Clearly you havent entered the USA as a foreigner, and have no clue about the pleasantries exchanged with US CBP on arrival
*Singling out??? As explained by other posters, UA is obliged to check documentations, and if BP doesnt say DOCS OK - the GA is obliged to pull that person aside - whether it be one person or twenty people, whether they be american or from the moon
*Again, its not US policy
