Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in California, US, has invested $1.6bn in security improvements since 11 September 2001, according to a report by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
The security measures include a full-body screening system and an inline baggage handling and screening system to speed up movements through the airport and to check for explosives.
