Any problems with getting off a plane and not reboarding plane at stop?

People miss flights all the time, so I am a little confused as to how it would seem a security problem for me not to get on the second flight.



The idea is that a non-suicide bomber should not be able to reliably leave a checked bag in a plane that s/he is not on. So if you miss your connection, they would have to remove your checked baggage, although this is probably not normally a big issue, since most missed connections are due to flight delays of the earlier segment that would also cause the baggage to miss the connections.
