computer shutdown of U.S. Customs and Border Protection systems at airports

Monday night, a computer shutdown of U.S. Customs and Border Protection systems at airports across the country led to major headaches for travelers nationwide.

 

People returning home from the New Year's holiday weekend were being processed at international terminals by hand at several airports, resulting in long lines and short tempers.

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

The word should be "for" not OR

I have been sick so for today I am "excused!"
