Nationwide Customs Outage Over, but Airports Clogged With Annoyed Travelers
A four-hour outage for U.S. Customs and Border Protection left throngs of angry passengers dealing with significant delays from South Florida to Boston to Los Angeles for several hours Monday afternoon and evening.
Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, said the "technology disruption" began about 5 p.m. ET and was resolved by 9 p.m. All airports were back up and running late Monday, CBP said.
"At this time, there is no indication the service disruption was malicious in nature," the agency said.
Passengers on more than 30 international flights were affected in Miami, an airport official told NBC Miami. One traveler told the station that two people passed out waiting in line.
