I have to say I travel through newark quite frequently, usually on Continental (Unless its United) and believe me when I say, Term C, on any given day, is a chaotic mess. If you don't give yourself enough time, you're done. I've taken a flight out to Mexico, connecting through Houston that's at 5:30 in the morning. I arrive at 3 am and honestly at that time, it's packed because of the many latin america flights. And at this time of year (Spring break and now easter sunday) it's crazy. We can't always say that if you're late its the airlines fault, there has to be some personal responsibility in this. And in this case, this is clearly the fault of the OP for not giving themselves enough time to get through the cue. The baggage issue could have been handled better, but if your flying out of Newark Airport, 2 - 3 hours international, at least 2 hours domestic.
