This. I tend to be pretty laid back. I am female, live alone, regularly leave windows/doors open and unlocked. Run, cycle, hike, ski, camp alone with only a basic set of precautions. This would have freaked me out and I would have immediately been alerting TSA, police, any official I could summon. I have friends that are FAMs and would have been texting them if I didn't get the response I felt necessary. I would not have cared if I missed a flight and I would be confident that UA would have properly dealt with accommodating me on a later flight whether on their flights or another airline. Being late for whatever I was flying for is better than being dead.
