There have been some recent incidents, IIRC on UA, of passengers not being allowed to fly domestic legs of international itineraries without passports. In one case, someone started on the east coast, but lives in LA and had planned to go home to pick up the passport during a stopover (or connection?) at LAX. There was another incident in which the passenger without documents was a child and IIRC the custodial parent was going to bring the passport to the airport en route.
