The risks at LAX are twofold: 1) When you check in (if you are in Clase Turista), they may ask to weigh your carry on. I always check in with the Clase Ejecutiva line (due to OW status, not actually travelling in Ejecutiva) and have never been asked to weigh my carry on. 2) At the gate, the above advice holds true. If you are sitting in the gate area with a carry on that fails the eyeball test, you are asking for trouble. Anyone sitting across the aisle next to the See's Candy counter, or arriving once boarding has started, is in the safe zone.
