what happened to the O.C. California?

so here i am in santa monica, ca. just overall since i have arrived in cali, it has been terrible weather. rain rain rain rain rain. good choice of vacation days, right?

so i wake up at 4am wednesday morning to get ready and do last minute packing. i hop into a limo car taking me to newark airport at 5:30am to catch my flight at 7am flying to lax. i wait in line to do curbside checking, and when i get to the front of the line, they tell me that i have to go to special services. odd, right? i end up just having to get checked in there. i take my bags to get xrayed, and line up to go thru security. of course, they look at my boarding pass and say, "you see these s's on the top of your pass? that means that you have been randomly selected to be searched completely". they say this as they are wearing latex gloves. so i'm already 30 minutes away from havin gmy plane take off without me, and they're feeling me up. i mean, come on. how many times are you going to check for a weapon across and between my boobs. literally, more than 3 times. violation. what is goin ON with this?
