LAX tower visit?

Hi folks, I was directed this way from R&N, so I've ventured outside my usual burrow of Jet Blast to see if anyone can help.

I'm an about to retire controller from a small procedural tower in Australia and I will be at a loose end in transit in LA on Saturday March 24 at a hotel next door to the airport. If there is anybody who can tell me who to contact to arrange a visit to the tower on that day, armed only with with my Australian Airservices photo ID card, I would be very grateful. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks all. If anyone can help the beer is on me!

Cool

Bino;

Since 9.11 anyone not a US citizen is difficult to get into a facility. It can be done, but normally with at least a months notice and a lot of paper work to go through Washington DC for the security bunch...

Cool

Naw it gives someone else a new shiny desk to work at and do nothing, while allowing the facility manager an excuse to not have to let someone into the facility and worry about...

I like the way you have to queue to enter the security check point (for an hour or so) to visit the Statue of Liberty.....oxymoron or paradox? I could never separate the two.
