If she is worried about long lines at ORD she should arrive earlier.

I don't know if TSA would catch it but I wouldn't be shocked if the GA caught it and charged her for a checked bag instead of gate checking. Because even if the flight was empty (it sounds like) that piece of luggage wouldn't fit in an overhead bin or under a seat.
