Didn't find the Bradley terminal baggage checkin lines that bad at LAX for ATN. As I remember, it was not more than 20 minutes. If you're working with a partner airline to LAX prior to the ATN or AF flight to Tahiti, then checking thru is probably OK. If not, I'd re-check it. We checked all the way thru from PHX-Singapore, but we flew Delta from PHX to LAX and they are a partner with Singapore Airlines. We have never had a problem with baggage on any airline, but we use RSSC air for all cruises, never use curbside checkin, and watch our bags on all trips until they go on the baggage conveyor belt to the airplane. We don't just leave them at the security machine, as many folks do.
