The TSA pulled him to the front of the line.

Good luck.
Yes, precisely. This is the beauty of the Tom Bradley Supermax Prison (I'm borrowing someone else's terminology on here from years back, but I think it's fitting). Absolute disaster. And once you breath a sigh of relief that you're actually through immigration, there's the ridiculous snaking customs lines that make their ways around the baggage carousels. Always plan for the worst with that place.
