Superstar Rihanna arrived at LAX like an other A-lister and expected to breeze right through security. This was not her day.

Rihanna was boarding a flight to New York City, where she is scheduled to perform at her Rated R album release show at the Hammerstein Ballroom tonight. She also performs on Saturday Night live this weekend.
