Just had the same experience at LAX. There was quite a line at DOH for people to get their electronics packaged, so I suggest folks arrive at the gate 90 min before departure if you have electronics to check. Seems like a lot of folks didn't know about this policy. There were also many more random security checks being done (where they unpack your carryons and check for explosives) and the security is noticeably more tight.
The process seems quite safe and secure, the only thing that needs improvement is to have a system for them to more quickly identify whose box is whose upon arrival.
