Last month, when we returned from Bali and Sydney to the US, we were not required to retrieve our checked baggage and go back through security at LAX. We were told that this is a program unique to American Airlines. I don't know if it's also unique to LAX, but it sure was nice! Has anyone experienced this at other US entry points?
