LAX worker faces human smuggling charges

LOS ANGELES Roberto Amaya Canchola was arrested last month.

Prosecutors said the 53-year-old North Hills man used his security clearance to get arriving passengers through the airport without going through immigration.

The investigation began after customs officers noticed a discrepancy in the number of people arriving on certain flights and the number actually passing through inspection.
