LAX has 7 terminals, and all of them are in perpetual motion. Without specifics, the comment is just someone making a statement that is unverifiable. Which brings me back around to asking all of you to have anyone that makes these types of comments to file the complaint with TSA. TSA can not address the issue if they do not know it has happened.
To file a complaint, or even to identify the incident, risk retaliation and almost certainly does nothing.

To post on social media might eventually get Congress to act.
