When I attempted to view booked reservations, I was asked to login in. I am not sure what happened if you click a link from a "live" session.

Moral of the story - never post direct links from aa.com to a public website if you are logged into aa.com.
That's typically how it happens. When you post a link, make sure you remove the sessionID.
