Several passengers arriving on flights to LAX were wearing surgical masks to protect themselves from the possible spread of the swine flu. 

Meanwhile, the number of cases in California continue to grow.

Officials say it's only a matter of time before there is a confirmed case in the Southland.

There is some testing in Santa Clarita.  Authorities did not divulge the location or school where this effort is taking place.
