Do I have to go through security again for connecting flight LAX?
These terminals are connected airside, meaning you can transfer between them without having to enter security again. To do this, use the walkways: TBIT and Terminal 4 are connected by a walkway. Terminals 4 through 6 are connected by tunnels near the terminal center.

Generally no, unless you leave the secured terminal. Sometimes you have to transfer to another terminal, and if that is via a bus or tram from inside the secure area, usually don't have to re-scan. But if you go out of the secure area for some reason you'll have to re-enter through a TSA checkpoint.
Do You Have To Go Through Customs During A Layover? Customs and immigration are usually required at the connecting airport for international flights. You don't always have to for domestic flights. In most cases, passengers on layover flights must clear customs and immigration at the first point of entry.
When checking in your luggage in most cases it will be checked through to your last stop. When arriving at the connecting airport all you have to do is to go to your next gate and wait for the next plane, your next flight. There might be a security check in the terminal at the connecting airport.
1) If your connecting AA flight is from the same terminal as that of your arrival, 60 minutes is good enough. 2) If your connecting AA flight is from another terminal i.e. either T4 to T6 or T6 to T4, you should still be good as the commute between T4 and T6 is small and the airport provides shuttle services too.
As a general rule, 60 to 90 minutes should be enough for a transfer between domestic flights that doesn't require leaving security. Two hours is more reasonable for domestic transfers that require leaving security and rechecking, and three hours is a good idea if arriving from another country.
I wrote an entire guide on how long it takes to go through customs at LAX, but in general, plan on a layover of at least 3 hours if you don't want to stress yourself out.
If you miss your connection booked with the same airline that your were on for your first flight, and the issue is due to a delayed take off or anything else that's in the hands of your airline, it's the airline's responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight.
Is LAX hard to navigate? As with most major airports around the world, navigating through LAX can often be a nightmare. Traffic, long security lines, extensive check-in lines, and connecting flights when the terminals are on opposite sides of the airport are just a few of the challenges that passengers face at LAX.
Generally 2 hours would be the minimum. 3 hours if you give yourself a little buffer. From Tom Bradley International Terminal to other domestic terminals at LAX takes only about 5 to 10 minutes walk.
“When an airline makes a decision to connect you with a flight that has a 45-minute connection, it probably has you in the same concourse, or a concourse over,” Mayers says. “It knows that you will have enough time to get to your gate.”
If the same airline is giving you a connection, then you do not require to take your check- in baggage. It is called through check-in. The airline will transfer your baggage on its own. In case your connecting flight is on different airline, then yes you will have to collect your baggage and check in again on your own.
Do connecting flights wait for delayed passengers? Most airlines will try to accommodate passengers from a delayed inbound flight, but it's not guaranteed. Flight attendants might notify the ground crew of connecting passengers, but airlines typically won't delay a departure for a small group.
In most instances, you won't need to collect your bags at this connection – they will be checked through. However, if this connection involves different airlines, your bags will only be checked through if the airlines have a codeshare or interline agreement. This information can be found on the airline's website.
