Narrative:

On climbout from lax, passing through FL270, the 'a' flight attendant called and said a woman was unconscious and lost all bodily functions and we needed to land as soon as possible. We declared an emergency with la center and received clearance back to lax via the civet 4 arrival to runway 25L. We landed overweight at 154.4 uneventfully and had the paramedics meet us at the gate. The woman regained consciousness and was removed from the aircraft. We coordinated our return to the airport with dispatch. I feel that having the emergency medical kit in the cockpit is a security risk. I do not like the idea of having to open the cockpit door with a lot of commotion going on in the cabin, in case a feigned illness is a ploy to storm the cockpit.
