Jonathan Green, a spokesman with the Maryland Transportation Authority, which patrols the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
"Everything added up to create a situation where she felt concerned," Green told the Baltimore Sun. "Everything was done in the interest of safety."
