Narrative:

Observed 2 airlines pilots bypass security by going through the baggage room door next to the ticket counter. I notified the lax airport police. The crew was removed from the aircraft and made to go through the FAA required screening point. A report was taken and the crew was allowed to make their flight. The aircraft was not searched, even though the crew was on board for several mins before being removed by the policy. This report will be forwarded to the FAA security office in lax.
