Wonder if she’s the same one who refused to wear shoes on the plane last year and tried to leap over the GA podium.
Perhaps in addition to TSA screening passengers in MIA need to pass a minimum IQ test prior to clearing security.

The carryon didnt look oversized, I'm guessing they just were out of OHB space - which with MIA load factors rn isn't surprising if they were in later boarding groups. In the end this is just silly, I get not wanting to gate check but this is not how you handle that, now neither her nor her bag (I'm guessing) got on the plane.

What is the cost cutting opportunity here?

Looks like a Delta bird. She's probably upset there's no AA miles for flying with a competing carrier. All joking aside, what childish and silly behavior. It's like arguing with an umpire. No matter how much you (think) you're in the right, they're not going to reverse course. Especially once you begin throwing a tantrum.

You're right! She didn't listen to him. She have to check her carryon bag. Because the overhead bin is at capacity.
You're right! They won't even serve alcohol anymore! No more alcoholic beverage. That's final!
You got that right! Ban her for life! Put her on no fly list permanently!
