I dont beieve they do Bag & Passenger match ups on a Domestic flight. I guess she could always try the sudden illness routine and hope they fall for it, and tell them she needs her bag and will pay for the night in a hotel plus whatever the fare difference will be for a flight tommorrow.If they check and then see shes a local well off bets are off, hopefully theres not alot of Miles in her acct.
