I live in LA and travel just about weekly out of/into LAX. I make it a point of checking whether I am flying out of T5 or T6 and simply use the security line for the terminal I am flying out of -- and have never experienced some of the T5 security line issues at T6. However, I do this not because I have some sort of aversion to the tunnel that everyone seems to enjoy but simply because I dont like getting to the airport too far in advance but yet I want to enjoy either the SC or the Boardroom for a pre-departure beverage and to relax for a moment. Given that most flights out of LAX start boarding 40 minutes in advance, adding in the travel tunnel time makes it a waste and has caused me to miss some pre-departure relaxation. By the way, I LOVE the Boardroom and prefer it over the SC in T5 anyday because I always seems to be just about the only person there. Meanwhile, the SC is always busy based upon my experience.
