Before September 2001 PPBM was not required for US domestic flights, unless certain conditions were met. The airlines said "too expensive" to do it domestically.
Since September 11th, it is now required for all US domestic flights. If you have PPBM on your tag now it means that it is a throwback to when certain ticketing/itin pattens triggered a PPBM for a domestic flight, or that your bag warrants "extra special" handling (due to one way travel, etc).

Still, that does not address any safety concern that may stem from a domestic passenger who does not have PPBM on his tag taking advantage of this.
Does anyone know how Europe is? It is PPBM for everyone?
