For months, people have complained about Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)'s "unremarkable operational efficiency," "long customs clearance times," and "too heavy an atmosphere of inspection." Los Angeles International Airport said it has added immigration inspection windows and baggage inspection dogs to speed up customs clearance. During the upcoming peak passenger flow periods of Christmas and New Year, manpower will be further increased, but security inspections of incoming passengers and their belongings will not be relaxed. LAX has also added a fast-track customs clearance channel, which costs 100 yuan to quickly clear customs and is valid for five years. Airport staff said that LAX staff has not been reduced recently, and the workload has not increased. If flights from various places are delayed and cause landing "collision", passenger clearance will be blocked, causing public complaints. In addition, the recent increase in the rate of spot checks on passengers entering customs has also increased the time required for passengers to clear customs. LAX's recent improvement in customs clearance efficiency has been criticized by many federal lawmakers. A few days ago, the federal Customs and Border Protection Commission jointly requested to increase the manpower of LAX Customs, including increasing the existing 60 immigration inspection gates to 81. Unmanned operations cannot be done in vain, and customs baggage inspection also hopes to improve efficiency. In order to speed up the customs clearance for people, LAX has set up a rapid customs clearance gate, which is currently only available to U.S. citizens and green card holders. According to an explanation from a Chinese official at the airport customs, the express customs clearance gate costs 100 yuan and can be used for five years. After the flight arrives, a machine is used to scan the passport and green card, which can reduce the customs clearance time by more than half. Of course, if the customs suspects that the luggage of a person passing through customs is abnormal, they can still require the luggage to be opened for inspection.
