A few months back at IAH a flight either put the wrong frequency or just plain forgot, but either case landed without talking to tower and as they were exiting the runway they realized their error and tower simply said: There you are, in a happy sarcastic voice, and simply asked for gate. That was all.

I understand all the FARs and blah blahs, but really you are going into a Class B as a part 121 carrier, they have you on radar and pretty much know what you'll be doing, not like it's going to cause confusion at the airport. Go around will def set the chain of chaos.
