Seeing some part of the new terminal finally rising out of the rubble of one of the old donuts is pretty cool honestly

True but it's been happening for awhile so not sure what would be so special about next week.

The first pieces of the steel structure started going up today.

Also today, the public art presentation and community feedback launched.The RFQ for Public Art is out as well (I think it has been).

Should be flipping traffic pattern by end of April, fortuitous timing given fewer vehicles. Not sure if that qualifies as 'exciting' news.

Current KCI opened the day that a hijacking ended up changing airline security forever and immediately made the KCI design outdated.

How ironic would it be if COVID19 did the same for passenger health and our current new terminal design?

So much touching and filthy surfaces with current security procedures. Let's hope we move towards the Israeli model of observation and behavior rather than the security theater we have today.

By the government’s own studies, the TSA is ineffective at catching threats almost every single time.

The Isreal model relies heavily on racial profiling.

The wikipedia page you referenced was based on one persons alleged experience. I think this is more in context with the previous post https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi- ... story.html
