At LAX they checked BP at the bottom of the escalator at T2 and then it wasn't checked until we boarded the plane. No shoe carnival, no barkers, a semi pleasant experience.
Then at HNL and ITO 1 week ago. Check the BP before you enter the line for the checkpoint by airport person. Check the BP before you go through WTMD by TSA and immediately after you walk through. The last guy scribbles something on your BP to let someone know you are cleared. These are also the places that I had to take off my Keds at.
