Totally asinine treatment while the real terrorists are laughing at having accomplished just what they set out to do. Meanwhile tests have shown bombs and weapons typically are passed right through.

They check at the start of the maze, at the end of the maze, at the bottom of the escalator that is less than 20 feet from the end of the rat maze you just left, and then again at the top of the escalator, then one more time as I passed through the actual metal detector. 5 checks in under 200 feet of travel. TSA must have a hell of a union to keep that many people employed doing that little actual work. dc my favorite part of LAX was the boarding pass / ID check at the start of the rat maze leading to the metal detectors and x-ray machines.
