I wonder if the LAX tech support is contracted out to some company, not done by 
employees? Of course even employees assume that it isn't them....  we get a lot 
of service desk calls sent to us for 'mainframe is down' when the problem is 
that their local network guys unplugged something in the path to us, or 
filtered out something necessary to communications with us, because they didn't 
understand its purpose. Instead of looking at local changes first, they assume 
of course that a statewide resource, which has a sterling record of up time, 
has been allowed to fail in the middle of prime time!
