You're not kidding. I was there 2 days ago. the "B" Terminal (don't know when they named it) is actually the Tom Bradley terminal - used to be called the international terminal but they renamed it for some IDIOTIC reason for a former mayor who sucked at his job (if you consider the overall quality of life in LA during his mayorhood). You noticed all the construction? I said out loud they have been "working on" improvements to LAX for probably 70 or 80 years and IT NEVER GETS BETTER! Just different. It's a mess. There really isn't any incentive for them to get it right. People will just continue to complain and suffer and they still won't care. Ugh.
You are right about LAX, still the same TSA, never change. Just flew the redeye home, 30 minutes line in front of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to get a $5 coffee. It is a human zoo, big and small animals.
LAX is a disgusting shithole. Every time I go back home I’m astounded at how shitty LA has gotten. It’s still amazing! But fuck it used to be so much better.
