The way Southwest handles a thru flight is they make an announcement that if you are staying on the aircraft for the next leg, to stay seated where you are. Once all the local passengers deplane, the flight attendant will come from the back and count how many thru passengers there are.
So - if a thru passenger got off, then the count would be right. If not, then it would have been one over, and Southwest should have checked out why (ask to see boarding passes, or at least get a list of thru passengers and check who is on board.)
To the original poster - by your same logic, someone could by a ticket to NY and get off in Baltimore. Flights are not priced based on how far you fly. Flights to NY have lots of competition, so the fares are lower than they might be to Baltimore.
Also please tell me what her accent had anything to do with what happened? She spoke in a heavy NY accent? Boy, never would have expected that in NY STATE!! For that matter we have them in Florida.
