Yes, that's what Steve suggested too, but that was denied by the OP. If they're all in the same itinerary, the system would have known. So, if the OP is correct in that they were not nested itineraries, and he is in LA, then someone at MSP messed up.
Just this past summer, I used multi-city to book:
MSN-PDX, PDX-TLS, TLS-PDX, PDX-MSN. The system knew that I was going to France, and knew that I needed to have a passport. And it knew this in Madison (this was the instance I was referring to, where I was called up to the gate).
OP, was there a stopover booked in LA? Or was it just a straight away connection?
