I am sure this kind of activity is already automatically tracked to some level far beyond the airport, but would a gate agent even be able to escalate their belief about this supposed offender even if they wanted to? Who would they call, their help desk? Is there a more formal communication path for airport-level frontline employees to use if they suspect someone is doing this?

My first thought when reading this thread. Was traveling a few years back on an award ticket, on a LEGAL connection through PHL from somewhere (do not recall) in the Caribbean to SAN in domestic first. Flight landing was delayed, took forever for luggage to show up, causing me to arrive at the gate within 15 minutes of departure. Gate agent was well aware of my situation, was getting ready to give away my first class seat on an otherwise oversold flight.
