Seems like the pilot did a no no here. twice.
I could be wrong, but I thought that there was a change in the regulation a while back that only required positive bag matching for international flights. At least, I enjoyed a half hour delay on my ATL-AMS flight a few weeks ago when someone's bag had to be removed who didn't board, but I can't remember the last time that happened on a domestic flight.
