[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Seriously? How truly madly deeply crap is that?

Anger over airports' passport e-gates not working

Passengers arriving in the UK tell of their frustration at having to join long queues to be checked.

You really don't

Those pesky Russians making things marginally worse than they normally are.

Well it's not very sporting is it?

They never work with my new passport anyway.

I asked the border officer about it last time and he said "Oh yeah, a lot of the new blue ones don't work with the gates"

I’m not sure things in the UK not working properly can all be ascribed to cyber attacks, there aren’t enough people in the world trying to launch them to cover it

More likely down to some poorly-tested software upgrade being forced in by management before it was ready to go live

Someone had better plug in our cyber defense system

Yup, one of several possibilities. Can’t be ruled out as easily as some are claiming.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

French are at it as well........A French computer outage at their Dover border control has caused massive traffics delays around the Kent port.
