US airport immigration computers go down temporarily

WASHINGTON: Immigration desk computers at various US airports went down for about two hours on Monday, causing wait times for international travellers that were longer than normal, Customs and Border Protection said.

The outage began at about 7.30pm EST (7.30am on Tuesday Thailand time) and was resolved about 9.30pm EST, the agency said in a statement.

"At this time, there is no indication the service disruption was malicious in nature," it said.
