LAX Priority Line
Hi guys,
Just spent 40 minutes @ LAX Security trying to get on Flight 404 to JFK... I'm flying MCS this time, so obviously I could have used a priority line. But I'm not aware that there is one out here... can someone tip me off so that I don't have to do this next time? Usually security here is < 5 minutes.. but this time I guess there were too many families and holiday travelers...
Thanks!

Here's the trick for LAX: Last month, having arrived on the Flyaway bus from Union Station on the lower (arrivals) level, I happily stumbled upon a downstairs screening checkpoint near T3 baggage claim. Monday mid-morning, I was the only passenger there! I don't know if that checkpoint has limited hours, but if all else fails, head downstairs.

The downstairs line was what took me 40 minutes this morning. At 530am, I arrived at the line, and at 540am, they shut down one of the two machines downstairs... 
But I've had much better luck upstairs than downstairs anyday. Unfortunately they wasn't letting any of us go upstairs this morning..
