I could just be people in LA are oxygen deprived due to the smog, or they just have that "It's a small world" song stuck in their heads from their disneyland trip
Actually, while there a few months ago, the airport was almost shutdown becasue a couple left a stack of brown unmarked boxes in the corner of the ticketing area. It took a few annoiuncements on the PA ssytem and the threat of shutting the airport down before the couple got out of line and moved the boxes into line with them. They had a nice talking to by the LEO that the SW agent had already called.
