I thought ever since 9/11, bags need pulling out when the passenger is not on board.
We are discussing whether the bag will be checked through, not whether the bag will go with the flight when the passenger does not board. These are very different things.
Of course it will be extremely unlikely that the bag will arrive at the final destination when the passenger does not board, regardless if he/she has the boarding pass.
