'Utter chaos': Passengers complain of delays after airport e-gates stop working nationwide

[Still Waters]

There are long queues and "scenes of utter chaos" at the UK border due to a nationwide problem with e-gates at ports and airports.

The technical problem caused electronic gates to stop working late on Friday, meaning all passengers have to be processed through staffed airport desks.

It comes as traffic builds on motorways and queues grow at Dover due to the bank holiday getaway.

This is one of the reasons why I'm perfecting my AP skillz.

All travel this year will be from within my own awareness, sans body. 

 

No Queues, ever.
