“Was their luggage already checked and being processed? “
If she had checked a bag beforehand, I’m sure it was.
The point is, this isn’t much of a news story. And her mother got hysterical for who knows what reason.
They both need to just get over it and stop making such a big deal.

This happened to me over a tube of lipstick. ( Really) I was given the choice of checking it or leaving it at the TSA station.
My bags had already been checked. There were long lines at the airline check in counter, and there likely would have been a fee to put another package in the baggage section of the flight. I would have had to search the airport for an appropriate container for the lipstick which I likely would not have been able to find. In all, I likely would have missed my flight.
Some choice! I left the $7.00 tube of lipstick in the TSA trash can. That also was probably on the only rational choice for this mom and girl.
I haven’t flown since TSA put in their abusive sex molesting searches. It would take a lot for me to fly again. It simply isn’t worth the aggravation and annoyance.
Where is the evidence that the mom and daughter made a “big deal” of it.
The girl was properly assertive, even though by properly challenging the decision, she missed her flight. No where in the story is there any mention of the girl making a fuss.
When her daughter didn't arrive on the expected flight, the mom was completely rational in making phone calls to find out where she was.
The only thing that bothers me with this story, in this day of universal cell phones, is why the daughter didn't phone the mom to let her know where she was.
