    About TSA Security at Los Angeles International

    Los Angeles International has 9 terminals arranged in a horseshoe layout, with dedicated checkpoints at each terminal. TSA PreCheck lanes are available at Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, as well as at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). Terminal 3 and TBIT tend to see the heaviest average waits. Rideshare pickups are located in the LAX-it lot — allow extra ground transportation time. Weekday early-morning and late-night departures typically offer the shortest checkpoint queues.
