My son in law purchased a ticket .......

Al, I recall hearing of such policies being in place for a while after the
WTC and Pentagon attacks. I was unaware that they were still in place. I
think the basis for the policy was security, not CC fraud. Tickets
purchased remotely by a party not travelling were considered somewhat
suspect.

One factor in your daughter's case that jumped right out at me was that she
was using a remotely purchased third-party ticket, and that ticket was
purchased remotely from a mid-east country. These factors may have combined
to raise a series of red flags in the UAL computers.

In any event, I'm glad it has all worked out. God Bless, and my heartfelt
thanks and kudos to your son-in-law when you next talk to him.
