Its a lose lose situation flying in and out of LAX. Its a run-down airport running aground by politics... Maybe I'm spoiled by HKG efficiency

. But then again, fly in and out of SFO and you'll never have these problems.
I found it funny when they started the "bag escort" - On weekdays I have to wait at least 15-20 minutes, I can't imagine what happens on weekends. No signs telling confused passengers where to go and what to do. The "rent-a-cops-with-government-employee-status" yell at lost passengers

.
