Just hanging around LAX

I'm very early for my flight home but check out from the hotel was 12:00. Flight departure is 18:20 but it's quite comfortable here.
However, check in and security is a nightmare, mostly because people don't listen to, or don't understand, the instructions from the security staff. E.g. chap in front of me stepped into the scanner with shoes and belt on, they should have been in a box for checking and going through the scanner with hand baggage.
At least it makes the upcoming 11 hour flight worth looking forward to! Ok, that was a bit 'tongue in cheek'.
