I always thought not sending the bag without the passenger is a "security" thing. Belief  being that someone would be less likely to intentionally check a bag with something that would bring down the plane if they are on the plane with it. Though,  if that is your intent, history would tell us that is probably not a big deterrent. 

This - it's to prevent someone checking in a bomb and then hopping in the car and going home.

Well, AA security isn’t that great then.  My shit sailed through without any hassle.  I also had the privilege of buying a last minute one-way ticket for $500 and $150 in Uber rides.

Southwest Airlines employee hospitalized after passenger attack in Dallas

A Southwest Airlines employee was assaulted by a passenger Saturday afternoon following a "verbal altercation," the airline said.

The incident happened during boarding for Southwest Flight 4976 from Dallas Love Field to New York's LaGuardia Airport.

According to Dallas police, the passenger boarded the flight around 12:40 p.m. and headed straight to the back, where she argued with a flight attendant who instructed the passenger to leave the plane.

The passenger then walked to the front of the plane and verbally fought with another Southwest employee before punching that person in the head, police said.

Police arrested the passenger, who faces a charge of aggravated assault.

The victim, who Southwest Airlines identified only as an operations agent, was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition, police said.

"We have a Station Manager with her at the hospital with the full support of her Southwest Family sending our thoughts, prayers, and love," an airline spokesman said in an emailed statement. "Southwest Airlines maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding any type of harassment or assault and fully support our Employee as we cooperate with local authorities regarding this unacceptable incident."
