Pro-Trump Demonstration at LAX

30-40 pro-Trump supporters from the Southern California area demonstrated at LAX International Terminal.
They protested in support of Trump's travel ban against the seven Muslim countries in the Middle east, the ban has been temporarily overturned and is not in affect.
A counter demonstration of 300 set up inside the international terminal keeping the pro-Trumpers out and on the other side of the street. LAX Airport police kept the two demonstrations apart from each other.

Construction efforts of the new Tom Bradley West International Terminal at LAX.
The $1.5 billion dollar structure will encompass 1.24 million square feet, and will be able to service the new giant A380 Airbus aircraft. The project used enough steel to construct 5 Eiffel towers, and borrows design cues from the Sidney Opera house in Australia.
The first opening of the new terminal is scheduled for December 2012.

Thank You Mr. Mayor

"Bady" a very large Airport Police bomb sniffing dog was a little more than upset at having his photo taken today at a press conference held at the LAX Theme Bldg.
After barking and lunging at me a couple of times, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stepped in and calmed "Bady" down.
Thank you again, Mr. Mayor.

"Bady" before.

"Bady" after.
