Unlike JFK/ATL you must check bags at the correct terminal. You can't check bags at T2 for say an Austin flight, nor at T3 for a JFK flight.
I flew flew out of LAX right after the move and was flying to OGG so checked in at T2. While waiting in SP line (which took 20 min) the guy in front of me (who was 2 PAX away from the front) asked the agent (who told everyone that this line is for SP PAX traveling to ATL/DTW/JFK/DCA/HI and INTL flights only) what about SLC. She says he will need to go to T3 to check in and he says that "he is a DM and should be able to check in wherever I want to". I would be mad too because at the time there was no signage telling PAX this (there is now) and both SP lines were very long.
