How early is early
You don't state specifically just how early this flight departed. Normally boarding is done at the specified time on the ticket (with the exception of delays). If it's not a full flight or if they boarded quickly then that would be the reason the doors were closed early and the plane was prepping for pushback. The gate can close the doors 10 - 15 minutes prior to departure. If this passenger was stuck in security then I doubt there will be any compensation because she is considered a late arrival and the airline has nothing to do with TSA, even if she is a first class passenger. Hopefully the ticket is refundable. Good luck.
