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

Honestly this is the kind of thing people need to consider will be more and more frequent. 

 

Our technology growth has outpaced the ability to secure it, we seem to not have adequate backup systems and plans for when it fails (for whatever reason). The systems are taxed to the limit in many areas.

 

And add to it a whole generation of younger people who have no idea how to do things the 'old ways' (think making change when the computers are down at the store) and businesses and organizations who don't maintain a 'plan B' for system failures that are adequate and viable, and what you get is inconvenience.
