Passenger who woke to find herself alone on plane sues airline for false imprisonment

An air passenger who woke to find herself locked in an empty plane is suing an airline for false imprisonment after staff failed to wake her upon arrival.
Ginger McGuire, 36, fell asleep on a United Express flight to Philadelphia on Tuesday, and claims she woke up to find she was alone on the plane.
Miss McGuire said she paced the aisles for about 15 minutes until a locked door opened and police demanded identification.

'Waking up to an empty airplane and not being able to get out - it was very horrifying,' Miss McGuire said.
She has filed a lawsuit against United and Trans States, alleging negligence, false imprisonment and distress.
'For a crew to leave her there and lock her is beyond a gross abuse,' her lawyer Geoffrey Fieger said.
McGuire said she simply fell asleep after a long trip that stretched from Detroit to suburban Washington before arriving in Philadelphia.
United Airlines said it was investigating her claims. The Transportation Security Administration is also investigating.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said there was no regulation about leaving someone asleep on a plane.
