Private Vehicles at LAX
So airport officials have now decided that it is OK for private vehicles to drop off and pick up passengers at LAX (“LAX to Restore Private Vehicle Access,” Dec. 14). Apparently, for the last three months, their thinking was that terrorists would not use taxis or limos to bring a bomb to LAX, only private vehicles.
What changed? What were they thinking when they arrived at the initial knee-jerk reaction to ban private vehicles from LAX? It appears that this window-dressing measure that they instituted was aimed only at giving the impression they were doing something proactive. I guess they checked their brains in before they went through the security gates at LAX!
