LAX screening is a drag
Re “Are Long Security Lines at LAX Over?” June 15
The long lines at Los Angeles International Airport could be diminished substantially if security officials were able to pull off a big one: stop requiring passengers to drag their bags from check-in to so-called explosive detection machines.
These monster machines malfunction often, and the screening process is very slow.
As a frequent traveler, I have checked my bags at many other airports the old-fashioned way: Leave them with the check-in agent and that’s that, no further line.
Other airports must have a better screening system someplace hidden from the view of the passenger. When will LAX do away with this utterly unnecessary hassle?
