Welcome to the United States: But not so fast!

Panic attacks, Shoving, Chaos, this was the scene Monday night at Atlanta, Miami and Salt Lake City, Washington, Boston, New York City, and Fort Lauderdale.

Was Putin and Russia behind this one? A computer outage at US Customs and Border control forced agents to process thousands of frustrated passengers using “alternative methods.”

The line was horrible, many foreign tourists wanted to turn around and just go home. U.S. Customs failed. The “alternative system” was not really a good alternative today, and it remains to be soon why, what and who was behind today’s nationwide computer disturbance. After 4 hours the computer system came back on.



Just a hint, Russian passengers were among the many foreign tourists just wanting to go home.
