I can only hope it has improved since I last dealt with it. It should only take a second, if that to scan the barcode on the boarding pass. I've heard it's operating smoothly at ORD.

If not, I'll find out soon - I've never found the LAX T4 security line to be extremely efficient, but when I went though last it was moving like molasses with the scanning of the boarding passes. The FC / Elite line was snaking through the first class check-in area of the lobby in T4 and the regular screening line was even worse.

I can only hope they don't start this nonsense in T2. While T2 can be hit or miss, I've come close to missing flights in T2 even when I've showed up 2+ hours in advance (i.e. managed to clear security and run to gate during final boarding).

Make the scanner available for those who want to use mobile devices for their BP's (if that is even necessary .. just read the screen), otherwise don't waste any more of my time at TDC with a circus act.
