At the airports with separate international departure halls (eg. YVR, YYZ, etc.) on a daily basis they must have all sorts of people who were bumped or re-accommodated for one reason or another and have to go through customers to get back land-side. Not having a passport is the one odd this about a domestic flight ended up on an international gate.
