I've gotten secondary a few times in the last year at LAX (and only LAX), and needless to say, they've never found anything. I've learned to not get upset about it, although it has made me miss a connecting flight before.
I'll be entering next in HNL, which I've never had as an intl entry before, so hopefully they're better! I used to actually like flying through LAX, but not with some of their monster security lines, and other BS.
