The highlights (if you can call them that) of this trip to LAX were:

1. Almost being run over at what I thought was a zebra-crossing, but wasn't
2. Got sexually harassed by 2 different groups of guys within the space of 5 minutes
3. Got my bags that had already been searched for contraband at Vancouver's US customs searched again at airport security (they didn't find anything the 2nd time)... but this time I got partial revenge by stating loudly "Yeah... this is why I never travel to the United States!"
