What type of explosives are entirely prohibited at this airport?

At LAX, Class A explosives are entirely prohibited due to their high potential for mass destruction and significant safety risks. Class A explosives are typically characterized by their ability to detonate or produce a powerful explosion, posing severe threats to public safety if mishandled or improperly introduced into the airport environment.

Due to these characteristics, stringent regulations are in place to ensure that such explosives do not enter the airport premises or restricted areas. This prohibition is critical for maintaining the safety and security of passengers, airport staff, and infrastructure. Meanwhile, other classes of explosives, while regulated, may not share the same level of risk or may be permissible under specific, controlled conditions, which differentiates Class A from the others in terms of prohibition levels.
