Panhandling banned at Los Angeles airport

[Parche]

(CNN) -- Dealing with panhandlers won't be part of the travel experience anymore for fliers passing through California's Los Angeles International Airport.

A decision Wednesday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals clears the way for the airport's police to enforce a Los Angeles city ordinance that prohibits groups from soliciting and receiving money in the terminals, parking areas and sidewalks of the airport.

Violators face a penalty of up to six months in jail or a fine of $1,000 if convicted.

"This is a huge step forward in ensuring the comfort and safety of the traveling public at LAX," said Los Angeles World Airports' Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey in a statement.

"From now on the traveling public will not have to worry about solicitors asking for money."

2. Yea asking for money is not the best way.

Explaining that it will be delivered is much better. Why ask, when it is yours already.
