There were only 3 of us in the elite line, but the TSA agent who mans the elite line was doing double duty further up front, alternately letting mass numbers of people through to the escalator before opening up the elite line to let the elites through. Sound familiar (a la UA T-7 next door
)?
The TSA agents who check the ID's and boarding passes are now at the top of the escalators, in 3 different queues. There is no longer one snaking queue which then breaks up towards the front. Now you pick your queue right at the beginning, and you're stuck with it.
Thankfully, I did not see any nude-o-meters this morning.
As a weekly traveler to/from LAX, I noticed the change last Friday (the Friday before was as it used to me). I was told this just happend. I asked TSA agents and PC ladies if there would be an Elite line at the top but no one knew as this just changed. It didn't matter that much to me last week since there were only handful of people at security. But today might be a different story as I am leaving at more of a busier time. We shall see.
